While continuing to sift through the ramifications of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s candid interview with Oprah Winfrey, The View’s Meghan McCain went on a rant about the British monarchy that left Whoopi Goldberg so visually stunned that her facial reaction has people cracking up on social media.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning as McCain used her time during the panel discussion to talk about her childhood playing George Washington with her siblings while touting the McCain family legacy of fighting in the Revolutionary War. While she eventually segued into an info dump on the popularity of Prince William and Kate Middleton and how some British citizens find Prince Harry and Markle’s interview to be poorly timed due to Prince Philip’s failing health, McCain returned to her rant about the proud American tradition of toppling monarchies, which she called “stupid.” It was all very weird, and yet very in character for McCain, who tends to make every topic about her.
Whoopi, who has never been shy about shutting McCain down or letting her know when she’s going off the rails, didn’t even know how to react this time around and sat there with a puzzled look on her face before simply saying, “OK.”
