Kate Middleton supporters slam TV presenter for ‘disgusting’ remark about Princess of Wales’ appearance as she returns to royal duties after cancer treatment

Good Morning Britain panelist Narinder Kaur has faced a furious backlash after saying Kate Middleton has ‘aged so much’ as she returned to royal duties following cancer treatment. 

The former Big Brother contestant made the offensive comment on X yesterday as she reposted an article about the Princess of Wales attending Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph. 

The 51-year-old, who appears as a commentator on shows including GMB, GB News and Loose Women, wrote: ‘Genuine question – why has Kate aged so much? Isn’t she only 42? Is she a smoker? It’s the only explanation.’

Ms Kaur’s tweet provoked a storm of outrage, with other X users calling the comment ‘dreadful’ and ‘disgusting’. 

At first she doubled down, replying to a tweet noting that Kate had been through cancer treatment by saying: ‘My brother had cancer… he didn’t age like that.’

Ms Kaur later shared a video in which she admitted the tweet was ‘stupid’ 

The TV personality has since shared a video in which she admitted the tweet was ‘stupid’ before hitting out at trolls who had sent her ‘sexual, racist [and] violent abuse’. 

She said: ‘I thought I’d do a quick video instead of tweet after tweet, because it becomes pretty ridiculous – as if it wasn’t ridiculous enough already.

‘I put out a stupid tweet. That wasn’t my intention, my intention was not to be malicious or nasty or anything.

‘I’m not like that, anybody who knows me. It was stupid to ask about the ageing. I’ve admitted that, I’ve put my hands up and apologised if it caused offence.

‘The only people who were offended though, because many people on Twitter and social media have asked exactly what I’ve asked but did not receive the sexual, racial, violent abuse that I did from accounts with EDL flags, Union Jacks, disgusting abuse.’ 

Ms Kaur said her brother ‘went through brutal treatment of chemo’ when he was suffering from cancer before his death and claimed she wouldn’t have made remarks about Kate’s appearance with regard to her cancer diagnosis. 

In the same video, Ms Kaur went on to outrageously accused Kate of having ‘a lot of privilege’ for not having to work while she received treatment for cancer. 

And, claiming that a lot of the comments she had received in response to her original tweet were about Meghan Markle, she added: ‘What’s Meghan got to do with it?’

The commentator accused her critics of ‘pitting Kate against Meghan’, adding: ‘You exposed your narrative. You exposed that what this was all about was I as a brown woman, an Indian, had the gall to criticise Kate’s appearance.

‘I’m not going anywhere. I’m not leaving the country. I’m gonna continue. You can keep cancelling me as much as you like, but you will not silence my voice just because I’m a brown woman, and it is that, and you will never convince me otherwise.’ 

X user Paul Tavares was among appalled at Ms Kaur’s comments, writing: ‘What an utterly appalling tweet by Narinder Kaur; on so many human levels of decency. Just disgusting!!’

Broadcaster Josh Rom added: ‘SHE HAS BATTLED CANCER. I cannot tell you how offensive you are being.’

The Princess of Wales joined the King and the Prince of Wales in London yesterday as they led the nation in remembering Britain’s war dead

The Princess of Wales joined the King and the Prince of Wales in London yesterday as they led the nation in remembering Britain’s war dead.

Kate carried out her second consecutive day of royal duties for the first time since it was revealed earlier this year she was being treated for cancer.

Wearing a black, military-style jacket with epaulettes, she could be seen wearing her traditional three poppies as she joined the nation in two minutes of silence. 

The touching tribute remembers her great-grandmother’s three brothers, who all lost their lives in the First World War.

She also wore a silver Queen’s Dragoon Guards brooch, a reference to her role as the regiment’s Colonel-in-Chief.

Kate watched yesterday’s Whitehall event from above, on the nearby Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office balcony in central London, alongside Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.

The Princess appeared emotional as she quietly closed her eyes in remembrance, bowing her head in respect. 

In a touching moment following the ceremony, the Duchess of Edinburgh could be seen laying a tender hand on her shoulder as they left the balcony together.

Last night she attended the Festival of Remembrance ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall, alongside her husband William.

Kate, 42, wore Bahrain Pearl Diamond Drop Earrings, from the late Queen Elizabeth’s private collection, which were also worn by the late Princess Diana in 1982.

Speaking about the significance of her choice, Laura Taylor, jeweller at Lorel Diamonds, said: ‘By wearing these earrings, Kate aims to honour the Queen’s legacy and the tradition of wearing pearls for moments of reflection and remembrance, echoing the late monarch’s preference for understated elegance on such occasions.’

She added: ‘Pearls are deeply associated with respect, dignity, and calm, offering a subtle yet elegant appearance that makes them particularly fitting for events of remembrance.

‘The late Queen Elizabeth frequently chose pearls for national mourning and reflective occasions, valuing their subdued beauty. By wearing these meaningful pieces, Kate not only honours her personal connections to Diana and the late Queen but also embraces the solemnity of the events in a way that feels both respectful and deeply personal.’

Ms Kaur regularly appears as a commentator on shows including Good Morning Britain 

Ms Kaur revealed during the race riots earlier this year that she felt ‘too scared’ to let her children out of the house. 

The broadcaster, whose parents emigrated from India, told of being left ‘distressed and disheartened’ by the far-Right violence. 

‘I’m scared to lets the kids out of the house at all,’ she wrote in The Mirror. 

‘My husband and I are wary of travelling around London, a city we’ve usually felt safe in, because we’re worried about our safety amidst these race riots. The threat is real and personal’.

Last month, the broadcaster claimed she was ‘kicked, punched and verbally abused’ by a passenger during a flight to India. 

She said she was ‘flung forward’ by a woman as she slept after rowing over a reclined seat on the Air India flight.

Sharing the details to X, she wrote: ‘Air rage is real and I had a terrible experience with a woman literally punching and kicking my seat forward as it was reclined (I was sleeping) whilst she was trying to eat behind me.

‘She literally flung me forward and I didn’t have my belt on. She proceeded to verbally abuse me. FYI she wasn’t even drunk.’

In March, Ms Kaur backed Nike’s infamous decision to redesign the St George’s Cross on England kits, saying it made her feel ‘included’ because the flag ‘is associated with bigotry, fascism and racism’ after being ‘hijacked’ by the far-Right.

England fans vowed to boycott Nike and its hated new £125 shirt for the 2024 Euros after the firm offended millions by redrawing the flag with a ‘rainbow coloured abomination’.

But Ms Kaur shared her controversial belief that the England flag in its original red and white is ‘scary’ and represents ‘racism’.

She told the Jeremy Vine Show: ‘I saw that flag and I felt included. I felt Nike’s reason was to unite. Sadly the St George’s flag has been hijacked, it is tarnished. And as far back as I can remember – 60s, 70s, 80s, it’s been hijacked by far-Right groups.

‘All I see when I see the St George’s flag is people draped in it doing the Nazi salute, being racist and hating Muslims. So there’s nothing to be proud about when those kind of people are brandishing that flag and it’s actually quite scary.

‘I don’t feel proud of this flag, I feel scared of the flag. That flag doesn’t represent tolerance, it represents racism.’

Ms Kaur suggested ‘tolerance’ was a key national characteristic and claimed there was a need to ‘reclaim’ the St George’s Cross.

‘What we need is for the majority who are apparently proud of this flag to reclaim what Britain [sic] is about,’ she said.

‘Because at the moment, it’s [associated] with bigotry, fascism and racism. And the majority aren’t displaying it proudly because even they feel slightly ashamed by it.’
