Good Morning Britain panelist Narinder Kaur has faced furious backlash after saying Kate Middleton has “aged a lot” as she returned to royal duties following cancer treatment.
The former Big Brother contestant made the offensive comment about X yesterday when she republished 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 he only 42 years old? Is she a smoker? It’s the only explanation.
Ms Kaur’s tweet sparked a firestorm of outrage, with other X users calling the comment “appalling” and “disgusting”.
At first, he doubled down and responded to a tweet pointing out that Kate had undergone cancer treatment by saying, “My brother had cancer…he didn’t age like that.”
Narinder Kaur made the offensive comment about X yesterday when she republished an article about the Princess of Wales’s attendance at Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph.
He later shared a video in which he admitted the tweet was “stupid.”
The TV personality has since shared a video in which she admitted the tweet was “stupid” before attacking 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 gets quite ridiculous, as if it’s not ridiculous enough already.”
‘I posted a stupid tweet. That wasn’t my intention, my intention wasn’t to be malicious or unpleasant or anything like that.
‘I’m not like that, no one who knows me. It was stupid to ask about aging. I admitted it, put my hands up and apologized if that offended me.
“However, the only people who were offended, because many people on Twitter and social media asked exactly what I asked for and did not receive the sexual, racial and violent abuse I did from accounts with EDL flags, Union Jacks, disgusting . abuse.’
Kaur said her brother “went through brutal chemotherapy treatment” when he was suffering from cancer before his death and claimed she would not have commented on Kate’s appearance in light of her cancer diagnosis.
In the same video, Kaur outrageously accused Kate of being “too privileged” for not having to work while receiving cancer treatment.
And, claiming that many of the comments he received in response to his original tweet were about Meghan Markle, he added: “What does Meghan have to do with it?”
The commentator accused her critics of “pitting Kate against Meghan,” adding: “You exposed your narrative.” You made the case that this was all about me, as a brown, Indian woman, having the nerve to criticize Kate’s appearance.
‘I’m not going anywhere. I won’t leave the country. I’m going to continue. You can keep canceling me all you want, but you won’t silence my voice just because I’m a brown woman, and that’s what it is, and you’ll never convince me otherwise.’
X user Paul Tavares was shocked by Kaur’s comments, writing: ‘What an appalling tweet from Narinder Kaur; on so many human levels of decency. ‘Just disgusting!!’
Announcer Josh Rom added: ‘HE HAS FIGHTED CANCER. I can’t express how offensive you are being.

The Princess of Wales joined the King and Prince of Wales in London yesterday as they led the nation in remembering Britain’s war dead.
Kate carried out her second straight day of royal duties for the first time since it was revealed earlier this year that she was being treated for cancer.
Wearing a black military-style jacket with epaulets, she could be seen sporting her traditional three poppies as she joined the nation in two minutes of silence.
The moving tribute remembers his great-grandmother’s three brothers, who lost their lives in the First World War.
He also wore a silver Queen’s Dragoon Guard brooch, a reference to his role as colonel-in-chief of the regiment.
Kate watched yesterday’s Whitehall event from above, on the nearby balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in central London, alongside Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.
The princess seemed excited as she silently closed her eyes in memory, bowing her head in respect.
In a touching moment after the ceremony, the Duchess of Edinburgh could be seen putting a tender hand on his shoulder as they walked off the balcony together.
Last night she attended the Festival of Remembrance ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with her husband William.
Kate, 42, wore Bahraini diamond and pearl drop earrings from the late Queen Elizabeth’s private collection, which were also worn by the late Princess Diana in 1982.
Speaking about the importance of her choice, Laura Taylor, jeweler at Lorel Diamonds, said: “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 preference of the late monarch for discreet elegance on such occasions.
He added: ‘Pearls are deeply associated with respect, dignity and calm, and offer a subtle yet elegant appearance that makes them particularly appropriate for commemorative events.
‘The late Queen Elizabeth frequently chose pearls for national mourning and occasions of reflection, valuing their faint beauty. By wearing these meaningful pieces, Kate not only honors her personal connections to Diana and the late Queen, but also embraces the solemnity of the events in a way that feels respectful and deeply personal.”
Ms Kaur regularly appears as a commentator on programs such as Good Morning Britain.
Kaur revealed during the race riots earlier this year that she felt “too scared” to let her children leave the house.
The broadcaster, whose parents emigrated from India, said the far-right violence left her “distressed and disheartened.”
“I’m afraid to let the kids out of the house,” she wrote in The Mirror.
‘My husband and I are wary of traveling through London, a city where we normally feel safe, because we are worried about our safety amid these race riots. “The threat is real and personal.”
Last month the station She claimed that a passenger kicked, punched and verbally abused her during a flight to India.
She said she was “thrown forward” by a woman while she was sleeping after rowing onto a reclined seat on the Air India flight.

‘She literally threw me forward and I didn’t have my seat belt on. She proceeded to verbally abuse me. FYI, I wasn’t even drunk.
In March, Kaur backed Nike’s infamous decision to redesign the St George’s Cross uniforms in England, saying it made her feeling “included” because the flag “is associated with intolerance, fascism and racism” after being “hijacked” by the far right.
England fans have vowed to boycott Nike and its hated new £125 shirt for Euro 2024 after offending millions by redrawing the flag with a “rainbow-coloured abomination”.
He appeared on Big Brother in 2001, when he appears in a publicity photo for the series.
But Kaur shared her controversial belief that the flag of England in its original red and white color is “scary” and represents “racism.”
She told the Jeremy Vine Show: “I saw that flag and felt included.” I felt like Nike’s reason was to come together. Unfortunately, St. George’s flag has been hijacked and is tarnished. And for as long as I can remember (60s, 70s, 80s), it has been hijacked by far-right groups.
“The only thing I see when I see the St. George flag is people wrapped in it doing the Nazi salute, being racist and hating Muslims. So there’s nothing to be proud of when those kinds of people brandish that flag and it’s actually quite scary.
‘I am not proud of this flag, I am afraid of the flag. “That flag does not represent tolerance, it represents racism.”
Kaur suggested that “tolerance” was a key national characteristic and claimed that the Cross of St George needed to be “reclaimed”.
“What we need is for the majority who are apparently proud of this flag to reclaim what Britain is (sic),” he said.
‘Because right now it is (associated) with intolerance, fascism and racism. And most don’t show it with pride because even they feel a little embarrassed about it.’
