Kate Middleton‘s controversial uncle Gary Goldsmith issued a groveling apology on Saturday following the publication of an interview mere hours after the Princess of Wales announced her cancer diagnosis. “As many will have seen, I am featured in Saturday’s ‘Times Magazine’.

This interview and shoot was done over a week ago and went to print before I was aware of the sad news regarding my niece Kate,” Goldsmith, 58, wrote on X.“My thoughts and prayers are with Kate and the wider family at this difficult time and deeply upset at the timing of this article,” he continued, adding that he hoped the announcement “draws a line over the continued speculation and horrible conspiracies.” “Let’s give Kate, William & the children time and show some love back,” he concluded.Several royal watchers on X seemed livid with the statement. “I think you need to read the room,” one user slammed. “A grand total of no one has seen, or will see the article.

It’s probably best to just stay quiet and dignified.”“Why are you STILL talking about her? Constantly!!! It’s extremely creepy … maybe you fancy her,” another fan said. “Don’t get why an old man like you, who has a family with kids and a wife?? (Which I can’t believe you have ) always talking about kate kate kate !!

You’re kinda making everyone hate u.” “Stop talking about them. Just stop. Stop using them to try and make yourself relevant,” a third user seethed. “You aren’t in the know.
