The View Co-Hosts Apologize for Kate Middleton Speculation

The View co-hosts Alyssa Farah Griffin, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin publicly apologized today for engaging in baseless speculation about Kate Middleton prior to the princess’ announcement that she has cancer. The hosts expressed regret for not heeding Whoopi Goldberg’s advice to respect Middleton’s privacy. Griffin acknowledged that they failed to consider the possibility of personal struggles behind Middleton’s absence and sent her love and strength. Haines reflected on the Palace’s treatment of women like Meghan Markle and Princess Diana, while Navarro called the incident a ‘learning moment’ and promised to mind her own business in the future. Hostin lightened the mood by expressing remorse for not intervening sooner. The co-hosts’ apologies come amidst criticism for their role in perpetuating conspiracy theories about Middleton.
