But Goldberg wasn't alone. look Ana Navarro took a moment to come to his defense, pointing out the difficult year the royal family is experiencing due to Princess Kate and King Charles' cancer diagnosis.
“These kids have been through so much,” Navarro said. “Their mother has cancer, their grandfather has cancer.”
Sunny Hostin said the same, adding: “For a man whose wife is suffering from cancer, it was pure, unadulterated joy. Can't you enjoy it for him? Come on.”

Meanwhile, Sara Haines praised William for his freedom of expression, even if his dancing skills weren't the greatest.
“I’m a firm believer in ‘dancing like no one’s watching,’” Haines said. “At that time, I can close my eyes while dancing. There are many times when I don’t want anyone to see me dancing. Everyone is watching him.”
Alyssa Farah Griffin was equally mesmerized by William's dance moves, quipped, “Go away, future king.”
