‘GMB’ Star Sparks Outrage After Commenting On Kate Middleton’s Appearance
Kaur faced intense backlash after implying that Kate looked old and asking if the future queen was a smoker.
Reposting an article about the Princess of Wales attending Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph, Kaur wrote: “Genuine question – why has Kate aged so much? Isn’t she only 42?”
“Is she a smoker? It’s the only explanation,” she added, per the Daily Mail.
Kaur’s remarks sparked outrage, with people branding her comment “dreadful” and “disgusting.”
One user wrote: “This woman proclaims to be a feminist and bangs on about women’s rights then attacks another woman for her looks who’s been fighting cancer for a year. There’s only one word for people like Narinder, and that is c–t!”
Another user called Kaur’s tweet “utterly appalling,” while broadcaster Josh Rom pointed out Kate’s recent battle with cancer, saying, “I cannot tell you how offensive you are being.”

Following the initial backlash, Kaur defended herself by mentioning her brother’s cancer journey and how “he didn’t age like” the Princess of Wales.
She clarified that her remarks were not intended as commentary on Kate’s health, noting that her brother had endured a “brutal” chemotherapy process before his passing.
Later, the former “Big Brother” contestant responded to the backlash over her tweet by sharing a video in which she acknowledged her comment was “stupid.”
However, she condemned the “sexual, racist, and violent abuse” directed at her online.
Kaur said, “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 aging. I’ve admitted that I’ve put my hands up and apologized if it caused offense.”
