After asking the panel if it's "a bad look for Meghan to still refer to herself as a Royal," Whoopi opened up the conversation, but not before adding: "Wake me up when you're done."

As the panel debated the topic, the 69-year-old pretended to fall asleep but interrupted the discussion, stating: "Can I just ask a dumb question that I just woke up for?

This comes after Meghan sent a gift basket filled with jars of her homemade jam to her friend and podcast host Jamie Kern Lima.

"As Jamie notes in her teaser, she has had the jam for over a year, indicating that the photo and gift are not recent."

They added: "While they do not publicly use 'HRH,' this was a personal gift, and their titles remain. This context should be accurately reflected in coverage."
