Never mind who wore what, the View's Sherri Shepherd had another burning question about the Royal Wedding today.
'Where are the black people?' the outspoken actress, 44, asked as the panellists as they critiqued Prince William and Kate Middleton's ceremony.
The star said she had earlier searched through the footage of guests at Westminster Abbey.
'Audrey Jones our producer was looking for the black people in the wedding and we found our Rosa Parks moment, because we were like 'where are the black people'?' she said.
'It was like where's Waldo, where are the black people?' she added.
'We found one little black child in the choir but where's the black people at this wedding?' she continued.
'Wait a minute the Calvary guy, from New York,' said Goldie Hawn, 65, who was a guest host for the day.
'Well the guests, there they are,' said Sherri, pointing to a screen showing a small group of black people in the congregation.
'They are segregated but they are at the front so we have our Rosa Parks moment,' she added referring to the African-American civil rights activist Rosa Parks who refused to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat for a white passenger on December 1, 1955.
'I don't know why they put all the black people over here but they are at the front of the wedding so I ain't complaining, they got in the front,' added Sherri.
The women also mocked the Queen and the dresses of princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.

I am so glad the first couple were not invited. Michelle would have been a horrible embarassment. She probably would have found out the Queen was wearing yellow and turned up in a sleeveless yellow number, wearing heels and the biggest hat on the planet.
I think the Royals’ decision not to invite the Bamas kind of precluded inviting other high profile Americans.
I’m sure the Bushes would have been invited, if it had not been for that. the Queen really liked President Bush.
With that said, the Bushes' have such class, that even if they had been invited I would bet they would have declined just on the basis of the Obama's not being invited --- of course that is just me.
Basically: Heads of Government of Commonwealth countries, other royal families, personal friends, workers on charities William is a sponsor of. It's now at 1900 before inviting Americans - one must draw a line somewhere.
“It’s true, you can’t fix stupid.
Did she ask why there wasn’t a Half Black Marxist there?”
That was the very point of her little screed wasn’t it?
All the MSM was snotty about it because their messiah and his wookie weren’t invited.
No more an Englishman than the descendants of Boers are Africans, IMO. To each his own.
