Michael Conlan has apologised for any offence caused by liking the tweet about the princess at Wimbledon
Belfast boxer Michael Conlan has apologised for liking a scathing tweet about Catherine, Princess of Wales.
The tweet by former IRA prisoner Tim Brannigan described Kate Middleton as a "prim, anaemic and vacuous woman".
Mr Brannigan said she was talentless and it was annoying to see the princess at big events such as Wimbledon.
On Monday, Conlan said he "unknowingly liked a tweet that appeared on my feed by someone I don't follow" and apologised for any offence caused.

On Sunday, the Prince and Princess of Wales watched the men's final from the royal box alongside two of their children, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince George, nine.
