Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith has made a grovelling apology after giving an ill-timed interview discussing the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The interview – which features in today’s ‘Times Magazine’ – came out just hours after Kate made the shock annoucement about her cancer diagnosis.
Mr Goldsmith, who was recently evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house, discussed his niece’s recent disappearence from the public eye.
Mr Goldsmith told The Times that he didn’t believe William and Kate were ‘at their happiest’.
He said in answer to a question on whether Kate and William are as happy as they once were: ‘Great question. And I’m going to be as honest as I can be.

‘Our beloved Queen Elizabeth dies and they lose the security of their grandmother.
‘Then Will’s father has only just had his bloody coins printed and suddenly he’s got significant worries too.
‘Then they’ve also got this bloody uncle that no one would want, because the arrogance and naivety of Andrew is just beyond me.
‘I’ve been in the same room as him and, believe me, that was enough.’
The 58-year-old also discussed the recent fallout over the Mother’s Day photo shared by Kate and William earlier this month.
He said questioned whether Kate photoshopping a ‘beautiful family photo’ was the crime of the century’.

Mr Goldsmith is now a multimillionaire businessman but he and Kate’s mother, Carole grew up in a council house in west London. He described their upbringing as ‘diverse’ like a ‘Woolies pick’n’mix counter’.
He said in the interview that is why he is ‘so angry’ that Meghan accused Kate of being racist. ‘Kate knows her family’s roots and is proud of them,’ he added
Mr Goldsmith has now apologised on X, formerly known as Twitter for his actions.
He said: ‘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.
‘My thoughts and prayers are with Kate and the wider family at this difficult time and deeply upset at the timing of this article.
‘I hope this draws a line over the continued speculation and horrible conspiracies. Let’s give Kate, William & the children time and show some love back.’
Buckingham Palace announced last night that cancer was found after Kate underwent major adominal surgery in January and that she is now undergoing a preventative course of chemotherapy.

The Princess of Wales added that she and William ‘have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family’.
The announcement came days after she was seen smiling with Prince William as they left their favourite farm shop close to their Windsor home.
The Royal Family also revealed in February that King Charles had been diagnosed with a form of cancer.
He has begun a series of regular treatments and is postponing public duties.
