Panellist Sunni Hostin hit back and said as the "future queen", Kate would not be "taking selfies with her family." But Whoopi wasn't having any of it.
"I have to tell you, she may be the future queen, she's still an amateur photographer. That’s what they do. I'm sure none of you have ever tampered with your own. It doesn’t change the fact that she said, 'Listen, I manipulated the pictures, I'm sorry'," the actress said.
