Amidst the controversy surrounding Kate Middleton’s recent photo editing scandal, Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of The View, shared her perspective on the matter. During a segment of the talk show, Goldberg addressed the widespread use of photo manipulation on social media platforms.
Goldberg expressed her belief that the majority of people engage in some form of photo editing before posting images online. She highlighted the ease with which photos can be altered and emphasized that edited images often do not accurately represent individuals’ true appearances.
In response to arguments suggesting that a future queen like Middleton would not edit her own photos, Goldberg maintained her stance, asserting that Middleton, like many others, is likely an amateur photographer who engages in editing practices.
While acknowledging Middleton’s status as a public figure and future queen, Goldberg emphasized that she is also an individual who may engage in common social media behaviors, including photo editing.
The controversy arose after Middleton posted a photo of herself with her children on Mother’s Day, prompting speculation about the authenticity of the image. Major news outlets, such as the Associated Press and Reuters, later withdrew the photo due to concerns about its authenticity.
Goldberg’s comments add to the ongoing conversation about the role of photo editing in shaping social media content and public perception, highlighting the prevalence of such practices even among prominent figures like Middleton.
