After an Instagram post widely perceived as mocking Duchess Kate, Kim Kardashian faced significant backlash from netizens.

Duchess Kate caused a stir when she disclosed her health condition.

On March 22nd, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, stirred international debate by posting a video revealing her recent diagnosis of cancer and her ongoing treatment. The official statement from Prince William’s wife quashed any “conspiracy theories” surrounding her absence from public events since late December 2023, as well as media speculation about her health. Following Kate’s disclosure, the public condemned those who had criticized and ridiculed her. Kim Kardashian was singled out as one of the figures who had “crossed the line” by targeting the future queen consort of England.

According to the Daily Mail, on March 17th, Kim Kardashian posted a series of posing photos next to a car with the caption: “On the way to find Kate.” This controversial move was seen as endorsing the “conspiracy theories” surrounding Kate’s absence and silence. After the illness of Prince William’s wife was made public, Kim was swarmed by photographers as she left her son Saint’s soccer game over the weekend. Kanye West’s ex-wife was interrogated: “Do you have any comment on Kate?” Kim remained silent and quickly got into her car and left.

Kim Kardashian’s post received a lot of criticism. Notably, the first comment read: “Please, refrain from ever setting foot in England again,” garnering over 4,500 likes.

With over 364 million followers on Instagram, Kim Kardashian’s controversial post remained visible. Below the comments section, the post received numerous criticisms from netizens. Many expressed frustration and outrage at what they perceived as Kim Kardashian’s insensitive and disrespectful behavior, demanding that she delete the post and apologize to Duchess Kate. Model Hattie-May Hamilton commented: “After her cancer diagnosis was revealed, you really should remove this post. It’s extremely tasteless, and you owe our duchess an apology,” receiving nearly 2,000 agreements.

Many accounts expressed discomfort with the “super booty” beauty when she kept the aforementioned post: “It’s truly a horrible post, especially after Duchess Kate announced her illness,” “After everything that’s happened, she shouldn’t wonder why people dislike her so much,” “As a daughter who lost her father to cancer, why does she seem so indifferent after the news about Duchess Kate was announced?” “She’s truly ignorant and shallow”… Some comments mocked Kim by echoing her caption: “She’s on her way to find her own brain,” or some went as far as stating that she’d better not set foot in England.

Kim remained silent in the face of criticism.

Meanwhile, while Kim Kardashian seemingly disregarded the wave of criticism about her post, another female star received praise after apologizing for her insensitive actions related to Duchess Kate. On March 22nd, Blake Lively posted an apology for posting a photoshopped image of herself with deliberate errors to mock the royal Duchess’s photo editing mishap that caused a stir not long ago.

The actress expressed: “I’m sure no one cares today, but I feel like I have to admit this. I posted a silly post about the ‘photoshop failure.’ Now that post makes me feel ashamed! I’m sorry. Sending love and good wishes to everyone.” Along with her apology, the movie star also removed the tasteless post from her Instagram.
