Whoopi Goldberg pretends to fall asleep during a Meghan Markle royal title discussion on The View, expressing discomfort over the controversy and the public sharing of a private note.
Actress Makes Her Discomfort Known Amid Meghan Markle’s Latest Title Controversy
Whoopi Goldberg made headlines after her humorous attempt to dodge a heated discussion on Meghan Markle’s use of royal titles during a recent episode of The View. The co-host and veteran actress made her stance clear — she's not interested in revisiting the ongoing royal drama.
Meghan Markle Criticized for Referencing Her Royal Title
The controversy began when it was revealed that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, referred to her royal title in a note to a friend. Though Meghan and Prince Harry stepped back from senior royal duties in 2020 and are no longer permitted to use their HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) styles, critics argue she continues to use the title publicly.
Whoopi’s Reaction: “Let Me Know When You're Finished!”
During the discussion on The View, Goldberg humorously pretended to fall asleep as her co-hosts debated whether it was inappropriate for Meghan to still refer to herself as a duchess.
“Damn them!” Whoopi joked before reclining in her chair and closing her eyes, signaling clear disinterest in the topic.
When asked if Meghan’s behavior was “a bad look,” Goldberg interrupted with a snarky, “Let me know when you're finished!”—once again pretending to snooze through the segment.
Goldberg Critiques Public Sharing of Meghan’s Private Note
After “waking up” from her staged nap, Goldberg shifted focus to what she found truly uncomfortable—that Meghan’s note was shared publicly at all.
“To me, I think if someone gives you a gift… I don't feel like she needed to show that,” she said, referring to the friend who publicized Meghan’s private message.
Co-host Sunny Hostin echoed her view, leading Whoopi to quip, “Well yeah, I’m old enough to be insightful.”
A Comedic, Yet Honest Take on Royal Fatigue
By playfully disengaging, Whoopi Goldberg expressed a sentiment many viewers share: fatigue over the endless royal controversies involving Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
“Can I ask a really dumb question that I just woke up for?” Goldberg asked toward the end of the segment, clearly poking fun at the intense scrutiny the couple constantly receives.
