Paloma Faith has revealed how she used a friend's disability to escape an awkward conversation with the Princess of Wales at the 2023 Royal Variety Performance. The singer admitted to making a faux pas by commenting on Kate's post-partum weight loss.
On her podcast 'Mad Sad Bad', Faith recounted telling Kate: "Didn't you look good post-partum, Kate. How have you lost that weight so quickly?" Realising her mistake, she turned to comedian Rosie Jones, who has ataxic cerebral palsy, and said: "Can we just say that, because you're disabled, we have to go, and you need me to help you?"
Faith described using Jones's disability in a "non-PC way" to exit the conversation. Despite the blunder, she was invited to perform at the royal family's 'Together at Christmas' carol service the following year.
The confession comes weeks after Faith welcomed her third child, a son born early and admitted to NICU for three days. She shared the news on Instagram, praising her medical team and noting the challenges of breastfeeding and recovery from a C-section.
