It seems that Kate Middleton has fully returned to her diplomatic duties, attending ceremonies. A few days ago, the princess appeared at the Remembrance Day celebrations. This was one of her first public appearances after completing chemotherapy. Her participation aimed to pay tribute to British veterans and to highlight her strength and determination in returning to full health.
Kate Middleton accused of smoking
Apart from receiving words of support and compliments, Kate also faced a controversial comment from Narinder Kaur, a British celebrity known for appearing on "Big Brother" and "Good Morning Britain."
The real question: why has Kate aged so much? Isn't she only 42? Is she smoking? That's the only explanation. - she wrote in reference to Middleton's appearance on the X platform.
Kaur's comment sparked a significant reaction. Critical voices quickly appeared online. The presenter was accused of a lack of tact:
That was very mean and inappropriate; disgusting - users reacted.
Interestingly, Narinder Kaur quickly explained that her intentions were misunderstood.
My brother had chemotherapy. He didn't age. He died. I'm sorry if it was tactless or just not okay. Hands up. I'm sorry - she wrote before ultimately deleting the original post.
British presenter under fire
In response to numerous attacks and critical comments, Kaur recorded a video where she expressed regret over the racist and sexist messages she began receiving after her comment. In an emotional post, she emphasized that her goal was not to stir up trouble or offend anyone.
You didn't care about Kate or her health. You just can't stand that I, a brown-skinned Indian, asked a harmless question about aging, - Kaur admitted, suggesting that many users were driven by racial prejudices.
However, some users on the X platform emphasized in response that their reaction was solely due to considering the post "ignorant" and "insensitive," not because of Kaur's background.
The royal family, of course, remains above such online verbal skirmishes and has chosen not to comment.
