TV host's shocking comment on Princess Catherine's post-cancer look sparks outrage
- Replies 39
In a world where public figures are constantly scrutinised, comments about their appearances are not uncommon to make headlines.
However, when such remarks are directed at someone who has just returned to the public eye after a private battle with cancer, the backlash can be particularly intense.
This was the case for a TV presenter whose recent comment about the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has ignited a firestorm of criticism.
The controversy began when Kaur, a former Big Brother contestant and regular commentator on shows like Good Morning Britain and Loose Women, took to social media to question why Kate appeared to have aged.
'Genuine question—why has Kate aged so much? Isn't she only 42? Is she a smoker? It's the only explanation,' Kaur wrote.
She reposted an article about the Princess of Wales attending the Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph.
The insensitivity of the remark did not go unnoticed. Social media users quickly defended the Princess, calling Kaur's comment 'dreadful' and 'disgusting.'
The backlash was swift and severe, with many pointing out that Kate had recently undergone cancer treatment, which could understandably affect her appearance.
Initially, Kaur doubled down on her statement, even when confronted with the fact of Kate's cancer treatment, comparing it to her own brother's experience with the disease.
However, as the backlash grew, Kaur posted a video where she admitted her tweet was 'stupid' and apologised if it offended.
She also highlighted the abuse she received in response, which included 'sexual, racist [and] violent' messages.
In the same video, Kaur made controversial remarks about Kate's privilege and the public's response to her original tweet, which she felt was influenced by her ethnicity.
She accused critics of pitting Kate against Meghan Markle and of trying to silence her voice because she is a brown woman.
The Princess of Wales, known for her grace and poise, has not publicly responded to Kaur's comments.
Instead, she has continued to carry out her royal duties with dignity.
During the Remembrance Sunday service, Kate was seen wearing a black, military-style jacket adorned with three poppies and a silver Queen's Dragoon Guards brooch, symbolising her role as the regiment's Colonel-in-Chief.
Her choice of attire, including pearl earrings, was noted for its respectful nod to tradition and the late Queen Elizabeth's preference for understated elegance on such occasions.
The incident with Kaur raises essential questions about the public discourse surrounding public figures' appearances, particularly women, and the boundaries of respectful commentary.
It also highlighted the challenges faced by those in the public eye who must navigate personal health struggles while fulfilling their public roles.
