Kate Middleton Supporters Slam TV Presenter For ‘Disgusting’ Remark About Princess Of Wales’ Appearance

Published on November 13, 2024

Narinder Kaur, a commentator on Good Morning Britain, has come under fire for claiming that Kate Middleton has “aged so much” since she resumed her royal duties after undergoing cancer treatment.

Yesterday, when she reposted a piece about the Princess of Wales attending Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph, the former Big Brother contestant wrote the obscene remark on X.

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.”

Other X users referred to Ms. Kaur’s tweet as “dreadful” and “disgusting,” sparking a furor.

She first went all out, responding to a tweet mentioning Kate’s cancer treatment with the words, “My brother had cancer… He didn’t age like that.”

Since then, the TV personality has posted a video in which she calls the tweet “stupid” and then attacks trolls for sending her “se**al, 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 stated that she would not have commented on Kate’s appearance in relation to her cancer diagnosis, claiming that her brother “went through brutal treatment of chemo” when he was afflicted with the disease prior to his death.

Ms. Kaur continued to ludicrously accuse Kate of having “a lot of privilege” by not having to work during her cancer treatment in the same video.

“What’s Meghan got to do with it?” she asked, saying that many of the responses she had gotten in response to her initial tweet were about Meghan Markle.

The commentator accused her critics of ‘pitting Kate against Meghan’, adding, “You exposed your narrative. You exposed that what this was all about was that 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 going to 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!!”

“SHE HAS FACED CANCER,” added broadcaster Josh Rom. I can’t express how disrespectful you are.

Yesterday, when the King and Prince of Wales led the country in honoring Britain’s war dead, the Princess of Wales joined them in London.

For the first time since it was announced earlier this year that she was receiving cancer treatment, Kate performed her royal duties for the second day in a row.

She joined the nation in two minutes of silence while sporting her typical three poppies and a black military-style jacket with epaulettes.

The heartfelt remembrance honors her great-grandmother’s three brothers, all of whom perished in World War I.

As a nod to her position as Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment, she also wore a silver Queen’s Dragoon Guards brooch.

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

As she bowed her head in reverence and silently closed her eyes in remembering, the princess seemed moved.

As they exited the balcony together after the ceremony, the Duchess of Edinburgh was seen placing a kind hand on her shoulder in a heartwarming gesture.

She and her husband, William, attended the Festival of Remembrance ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall last night.

The 42-year-old Kate wore Bahrain Pearl Diamond Drop Earrings, which belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth’s private collection and had originally belonged to the late Princess Diana in 1982.

“By wearing these earrings, Kate aims to honor 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,” Laura Taylor, jeweler at Lorel Diamonds, explained the significance of her choice.

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 valued pearls’ subtle beauty and regularly used them during periods of national sadness and introspection. In addition to honoring her personal ties to Diana and the late Queen, Kate embraces the seriousness of the events in a way that is both respectful and intensely personal by donning these significant pieces.

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 left India, described how the violence from the far right left her “distressed and disheartened.”

“I’m scared to let the kids out of the house at all,” she wrote in The Mirror.

Because we are concerned about our safety in the middle of these race riots, my husband and I are hesitant to move about London, a city where we have historically felt comfortable. The danger is genuine and intimate.

The presenter said last month that a passenger on a flight to India “kicked, punched, and verbally abused” her.

She said that while sleeping on the Air India flight, a woman ‘thrust forward’ her after she rowed over a reclined seat.

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.”

After being “hijacked” by the far-right, Ms. Kaur supported Nike’s controversial move to replace the St George’s Cross on England kits in March, claiming it made her feel ‘included’ because the flag ‘is synonymous with hate, fascism and racism’.

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-colored abomination.”

However, Ms. Kaur expressed her contentious opinion that the original red and white England flag is “scary” and symbolizes “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 kinds 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.”

It is necessary to’reclaim’ the St. George’s Cross, Ms. Kaur said, adding that “tolerance” was a crucial national trait.

“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.”
