The Princess of Wales' Mother's Day photo edit has been making headlines following its release on Sunday, and has been the topic of conversation on talk shows both in the UK and around the world.
And on Tuesday, the Today Show opened up about the controversy surrounding the photoshopped family photo, which featured the Princess, along with her three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five.
Third Hour host Dylan Dreyer - a mom-of-three herself, came to Kate's defense, saying: "I still think it's all a little wild. I mean, I just feel it's a picture and there's a couple little things. Like, who really cares that much."
"It's wild," co-star Sheinelle Jones agreed.
Dylan isn't the only TV star who has spoken out on the situation. Whoopi Goldberg was very vocal on The View on Monday.
"I’m sorry, I know very few people who don’t manipulate their own photos. I mean all you gotta do is swipe. Those editors swipe, God knows people look how those photos look," she said.

"She’s doing the same thing, she’s doing the same thing!" Whoopi exclaimed, emphasizing that photo manipulation is commonplace. She went on to state: "You know what, I have to tell you, she may be the future queen, but she’s still an amateur photographer. That’s what they do!"

After the release of the Mother's Day photo, Kate explained: "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. "I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C."
