TV presenter Narinder Kaur has faced backlash during an interview after her ‘disgusting’ question about Kate Middleton.
It all began on X when Kaur criticised the Princess of Wales’ appearance after quoting a Daily Mail Online tweet.
The tweet was about Kate's latest public engagement following the conclusion of her cancer treatment.

While the public was happy to see her back in good health and carrying on with her role as a member of the Royal Family, Kaur instead took to the platform to ask about why she’s seemingly ‘aged’.
Kate, 42, attended two events that weekend, which included the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday (9 November) and the Cenotaph's Remembrance Sunday service the day after.
Kaur, 51, wrote: "Genuine question - why has Kate aged so much? Isn't she only 42?"
She added: "Is she a smoker? It's the only explanation."

The tweet was not met with agreement, as royal fans were furious at her speculation.
Kate, who announced she finished her chemotherapy treatment in early September, had been quietly dealing with her cancer diagnosis and has been only seen a number of times this year.
While Kaur later admitted the comment was 'stupid' and 'insensitive', she claimed that she had been subjected to 'sexual, racial, [and] violent abuse' because of it.
The police are involved as the comments have been increasingly threatening.

In a video posted on X, Kaur explained: "I put out a stupid tweet - that wasn't my intention.
"My intention was not to be malicious or nasty or anything."
She continued: "It was stupid to ask about the ageing I've admitted that, and I put my hands up, and I've apologised if it caused offence."
However, Kaur recently appeared on journalist Dan Wootton’s Outspoken YouTube channel, where she was repeatedly told that she was ‘trolling’ as she tried to defend herself.

But it was after Kaur shared that she’s been open about not being ‘a fan of William and Kate’ but being ‘a fan of Meghan’, that Wootton delivered the ultimate blow.
He ranted to her: “You’re a troll of them and that’s why you decided to raise her looks after six months of chemo - by the way, Narinder, you’ve got absolutely no evidence that Catherine is a smoker.
“How dare you suggest that, because it’s almost as if you’re trying to say it’s her fault that she’s got cancer. And you’re even trying to say she doesn’t have cancer.”

Kaur then defended herself that she was simply focusing on the smoking aspect, replying that she has always told her family and friends not to smoke because they ‘can give you cancer’.
When questioned about her beliefs that Kate is a smoker without having proof, the TV presenter claimed there have been pictures of the Princess smoking and that ‘she used to smoke’.
The interview was quite intense, but no resolution could be made with Kaur, as she was adamant that her comments were not meant to be taken as they were by the media and the public.
Kate has not commented on the remarks about her looks and is likely pretty busy gearing up to host her beloved Christmas carol service next month.
She will be planning her Together at Christmas Service at Westminster Abbey on 6 December, with Kensington Palace stating: "This years’ service provides a moment to reflect upon the importance of love and empathy and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives. The service will shine a light on individuals from all over the UK who have shown love, kindness, and empathy towards others in their communities."
