Paloma Faith Recounts Asking Kate About Postpartum Weight, Then Using Rosie Jones’s Disability to Leave

Her account revives questions about royal etiquette alongside the use of disability as a social pretext.

Overview

  • Paloma Faith said on her Mad, Sad and Bad podcast that she asked the Princess of Wales how she lost weight after having Prince Louis.
  • She said she then turned to comedian Rosie Jones and proposed saying Jones needed help so they could end the conversation.
  • Faith described the move as “very non‑PC” and said Jones allowed it, framing it as using her disability to escape an awkward moment.
  • The exchange happened in a line‑up after Faith performed at the Royal Variety Performance in 2023, where she met Prince William and Princess Kate.
  • Coverage notes no official royal response or public comment from Jones, and Faith later performed at the Princess’s Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey.
