Piers Morgan Comes Under Fire For Saying Kate Middleton ‘Looked Pretty Thin’ At Recent Public Appearance: ‘So Rude!’
June 22, 2024 by Maria Pierides
Piers Morgan is famously not a fan of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and seems to have a higher opinion of Prince William and Kate Middleton. (That wouldn’t be hard based on how little he thinks of Prince Harry and Meghan!) However, his recent comments about the Princess of Wales’ appearance at Trooping the Color on Saturday, June 15th, as well as his comments about the cancer she and King Charles have been diagnosed with, were deemed quite disrespectful by royal fans on social media.
The 59-year-old British journalist said on his Piers Morgan Uncensored show that the Princess of Wales, 42, looked “pretty thin” during the King’s Birthday Parade, and also thought it might be a good idea if she and the King tell the public the specific types of cancer they have been diagnosed with. As expected, his comments didn’t go down well…
After talking about the health update the Princess of Wales gave her fans the night before her Trooping the Color appearance, the Piers Morgan Life Stories host said: “She’s giving a lot more than we might have expected.”
“I mean look, it was great to see her. I just thought, ‘great she’s back in a carriage looking like a princess.‘ She looked fabulous; but she did look pretty thin,” he continued, adding: “She looked to me like she’d been through a really hellish time probably, and was putting a very brave face on.”
“It was extremely commendable, [but it] can’t be easy to be in her position as a mother first off, as a wife, and then discover that you have to go out on Parade when you’re still having your treatment. It’s not easy.”
