Good Morning Britain panellist Narinder Kaur has taken a swipe at Princess Charlotte just minutes after slamming Queen Camilla in a controversial tweet. The GMB star, 52, took aim at the 10-year-old princess with a retweet posted to her social media profile. Originally shared by Candice Holmes on X, it included a video slamming the Royal Family.

Candice tweeted: “While 4.5million kids in the UK go hungry, Princess Charlotte is dubbed the ‘richest child in the world’. That’s not a fairytale, it’s a national disgrace. #AbolishTheMonarchy.” The attached video swiped at Charlotte’s “£3.9billion inherited net worth”, branding Charlotte “the world’s wealthiest child”.

She wrote: “Am I actually seeing this right? Those women are tapping people to get up for Camilla?! What a despicably egotistical vile thing to do… who on earth behaves like this?”

Fans were divided in the comments, with some agreeing with Narinder. However, another posted: “People who respect our monarchy. People who are being told a monarch is walking in from a position which they cannot see. People who want to be here for the right reasons. People who are proud of our country.”

Somebody else said: “We still respect the crown here!” While a third ranted: “Standing up for the Queen is part of British culture.”

In the ceaseless swirl of royal headlines, few moments have set social media ablaze quite like the latest remarks from Good Morning Britain panellist Narinder Kaur, whose pointed swipe at Princess Charlotte has ignited a fresh wave of debate over the monarchy’s place in modern Britain. Kaur, 52, is no stranger to controversy, but her recent retweet—just minutes after slamming Queen Camilla—has drawn both applause and outrage, shining a harsh spotlight on the gulf between royal privilege and the daily struggles of ordinary British families.

It all began with a simple retweet. The original post, shared by Candice Holmes on X (formerly Twitter), featured a video lambasting the Royal Family and took direct aim at young Princess Charlotte, dubbing her “the richest child in the world.” Holmes’ tweet cut straight to the bone: “While 4.5 million kids in the UK go hungry, Princess Charlotte is dubbed the ‘richest child in the world’. That’s not a fairytale, it’s a national disgrace. #AbolishTheMonarchy.” The video, which has since racked up thousands of views, highlighted Charlotte’s reported £3.9 billion inherited net worth, painting the ten-year-old princess as a symbol of the nation’s yawning wealth divide.

Kaur’s decision to amplify the message was, in itself, a statement. But she didn’t stop there. In a separate post, she voiced her disgust at what she described as “despicably egotistical” behaviour from members of the royal entourage, referencing a viral clip in which women were seen tapping people to rise for Queen Camilla. “Am I actually seeing this right? Those women are tapping people to get up for Camilla?! What a despicably egotistical vile thing to do… who on earth behaves like this?” Kaur fumed, her words dripping with incredulity.

The reaction was instant and intense. Social media, never far from a royal controversy, erupted into a familiar chorus of division. Some users rallied behind Kaur, echoing her frustration with the monarchy’s perceived excesses and the optics of wealth in an era of hardship. Others, however, leapt to the defence of the royals, arguing that tradition and respect for the crown remain bedrocks of British identity. “People who respect our monarchy. People who are being told a monarch is walking in from a position which they cannot see. People who want to be here for the right reasons. People who are proud of our country,” one user countered, laying bare the enduring fault lines in public opinion.

For every voice calling for the monarchy’s abolition, there was another insisting that “standing up for the Queen is part of British culture.” The comments section became a microcosm of the nation itself—divided, passionate, and deeply invested in the future of the crown.

But beneath the social media sparring lies a more uncomfortable truth. The juxtaposition of Princess Charlotte’s immense inherited wealth with the plight of millions of hungry children is not just a talking point—it’s a reflection of Britain’s broader struggles with inequality and the legacy of privilege. At just ten years old, Charlotte has become a lightning rod for a debate that shows no sign of fading: is the monarchy an outdated symbol of inequality, or a cherished institution that unites the nation in turbulent times?

Narinder Kaur’s intervention is hardly the first time the issue has come to the fore. In recent years, questions about the cost of the monarchy and the optics of royal wealth have become increasingly difficult for the palace to ignore. The annual Sovereign Grant, the taxpayer-funded allowance that bankrolls royal duties, has faced renewed scrutiny amid rising living costs and public sector pay disputes. Meanwhile, the younger generation of royals—Charlotte, George, and Louis—find themselves growing up in a world where their every move, every outfit, and even their net worth are dissected in real time by a public hungry for transparency and accountability.

The figure cited by Holmes—£3.9 billion—may be eye-popping, but it’s not without precedent. Royal children are often named on lists of the world’s wealthiest youngsters, thanks to the vast fortunes and future inheritances that come with their birthright. For critics, it’s a symbol of everything that’s wrong with Britain’s class system: a tiny elite living lives of unimaginable luxury while millions struggle to make ends meet. For supporters, it’s simply the price of tradition—a small cost for the continuity and stability the monarchy is said to provide.

What makes Kaur’s comments so incendiary is the way they cut through the usual royal platitudes. By linking Charlotte’s wealth to the reality of child poverty, she forces a conversation that many would rather avoid. It’s easy to celebrate royal weddings, jubilees, and Trooping the Colour; it’s harder to reconcile those images with the fact that so many children go to bed hungry every night. In a country where food banks have become a lifeline for countless families, the spectacle of royal riches can feel like a slap in the face.

Yet, for all the outrage, there remains a deep reservoir of affection for the royals—especially among older generations for whom the crown is woven into the fabric of national life. “We still respect the crown here!” insisted one commenter, while another ranted, “Standing up for the Queen is part of British culture.” To them, the monarchy is not just about money or status; it’s about identity, continuity, and a sense of belonging in an uncertain world.

This tension—between the realities of modern Britain and the enduring pull of tradition—lies at the heart of the monarchy’s current predicament. The royal family is, in many ways, a mirror of the nation itself: admired by some, resented by others, and endlessly scrutinised by all. Every gesture, every comment, every perceived slight or extravagance is pored over by a public that is both fascinated and frustrated by the institution’s contradictions.

For Princess Charlotte, the world’s gaze is unlikely to soften anytime soon. Born into unimaginable privilege, she will spend her life under the microscope, her every step shadowed by debates she did not create but cannot escape. For Narinder Kaur and those who share her views, Charlotte’s wealth is not a fairytale—it’s a symbol of a system in urgent need of reform. For others, she is simply a ten-year-old girl, caught in the crossfire of a national argument that shows no sign of resolution.

As Britain lurches from crisis to crisis, the monarchy remains both a lightning rod and a refuge—a source of comfort for some, a source of anger for others. The latest social media storm may pass, but the questions it raises will linger. How much longer can the crown command loyalty in a country so divided by class and opportunity? And what future awaits a generation of royals growing up in a world that is, at once, more connected and more critical than ever before?

For now, the debate rages on. In the echo chamber of social media, every royal gesture is amplified, every criticism magnified. Princess Charlotte, for better or worse, has become the latest symbol in a battle for Britain’s soul—a battle that will shape the future of the monarchy for years to come.
