Kate Middleton fans slam TV star for ‘vile’ comment about princess’s looks

Narinder Kaur is facing harsh blowback for her comments about the Princess of Wales' appearance at a Remembrance Sunday ceremony.
A British television presenter and former reality television star is facing harsh blowback after she shared her thoughts on Kate Middleton’s looks over the weekend, pondering why the Princess of Wales has “aged so much.”
Good Morning Britain panelist Narinder Kaur asked the question on X (formerly Twitter), reposting an article about Middleton’s attendance at a Remembrance Sunday event in London.
Kaur, 51, wrote in the now-deleted post: “Genuine question – why has Kate aged so much? Isn’t she only 42? Is she a smoker? It’s the only explanation.”
The backlash was immediate, with Middleton fans calling Kaur “disgusting,” “hateful” and “vile,” and pointing out the princess recently completed chemotherapy treatments for cancer, is a busy mom to three kids and that all people experience aging.
At first, Kaur doubled down, replying to one person’s criticism by writing: “My brother had cancer…he didn’t age like that.”
Shortly after, however, the former Big Brother UK contestant took to the social media platform to apologize.
“Ok. Seems people took this the wrong way. It was a genuine ask. My brother had chemo. He didn’t age. He died. Apologies if it was insensitive or just plain wrong. Hands up. I’m sorry,” Kaur wrote.
On Monday, Kaur posted a lengthy video defending herself and saying that while she believes she could have conducted herself better, she was surprised by the backlash she received.
