On Wednesday's episode of "The View," co-host Whoopi Goldberg made a comment about the royal family that sent UK viewers straight to Twitter to sound off. In a segment in which the hosts were discussing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's recent tour of Belize, Jamaica, and the Bahamas, Goldberg stated her belief that Prince William should apologize on behalf of the royal family for their generational involvement in slavery. 

"We cannot ignore the fact that Britain ran ramshod over India for years," Goldberg said. "Let us not forget, when we talk about what needs to happen, all the folks that need to apologize."
