Big Brother and Good Morning Britain star Narinder Kaur has been slammed for a “nasty” tweet that criticised Kate Middleton.
The TV star has faced a harsh backlash after she posted on X/Twitter following the Princess of Wales’ appearance at a memorial service on Remembrance Sunday in London. Mother-of-three Kate has been recovering since being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and after undergoing treatment, she has made a slow return to the public eye.
Wearing a military-style jacket, she looked sombre on the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, alongside Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh. However, Narinder sparked outrage after she suggested that Kate had “aged”, and accused the royal of taking up smoking.

Hundreds of horrified followers hit out at Narinder following her tweet, as they claimed it was “nasty” and "disgusting" to criticise Kate’s appearance during her cancer battle.
Amid the backlash, Narinda quickly followed up her first post: “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,” she posted, after admitting she had deleted the offensive tweet. “You hit a new low Narinder - take yourself off here for a while and think about things before tweeting - life’s tough and we don’t all agree on everything but this was terrible,” one follower fumed, as another agreed: “We didn’t take it the wrong way. You were nasty. And you should apologise.”

She fumed: “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.”
She continued: “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.” Narinder then accused Kate of having “a lot of privilege" for being able to rest and not work while undergoing cancer treatment, as she hit out at the racist abuse she faced for “talking about Kate’s ageing”.
She later voiced her anger at being targeted on the social media platform, and fired: “I put put a tweet about AGEING. AGEING!!!! And all you disgusting racists came at me like I'd killed kids. You utter sick f**ks. AGEING??!?! You don't care about Kate. You don't give one s**t. You just wanted to hang me.”
