Sources close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have weighed in on Kate Middleton's recent Photoshop debacle.

The sources suggested that the Sussexes would have faced severe backlash, perhaps even being "annihilated" by the public and media alike.
However, they expressed confidence that such an oversight would be unlikely from Meghan, given her background as a former "Suits" actress.
Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of "The View," has come forward in defense of Kate Middleton amid the controversy.
During a recent episode, Goldberg addressed the common practice of photo editing, asserting that it's prevalent among many individuals.
She emphasized the ubiquity of digital alterations in today's society, dismissing the notion that Kate's actions were out of the ordinary.
Goldberg's remarks sparked a lively debate among her fellow co-hosts, with Sarah Haines highlighting the distinction between "filtering" and outright Photoshopping.
Despite this, Goldberg maintained her stance, suggesting that Kate's actions were no different from what many others do routinely.
The discussion delved deeper into the implications of Kate's editing, with references to lingering suspicions surrounding the Palace's handling of her recent absence following abdominal surgery.
While some argued that such actions only fuel speculation and conspiracy theories, Goldberg reiterated that Kate's status as a future queen shouldn't exempt her from scrutiny.
Amid the scrutiny, Kate Middleton was photographed alongside Prince William as they attended a Commonwealth Day event.
However, her absence from the main proceedings alongside William and Queen Camilla has raised eyebrows.
In response to the uproar, Kate issued an apology for altering a Mother's Day portrait featuring her three children.
Despite the apology, Kensington Palace has maintained its stance of not releasing the unedited version of the image, leaving the controversy surrounding the royal family's portrayal in the digital age far from resolved.
