The murder of George Floyd was recreated in a horrific attempt at parody – with a French magazine using it Queen Elizabeth as Derek Chauvin kneel Meghan Markle.
Charlie Hebdo has just released a new edition of its weekly publication – and it features a crudely drawn cartoon version of QE2 pressing on the Duchess of Sussex’s neck … lying on the ground and struggling for air – just like George Floyd last year.
The caption reads … “POURQUOI MEGHAN A QUITTE BUCKINGHAM,” which is translated into “Why Meghan left Buckingham.” There’s also a quote bubble from Meghan on the drawing, which comes out roughly, “because I could not breathe anymore.”
The message they are trying to communicate – or so it seems – is what Meghan felt suffocated by royal racism (led by the queen). It turns out to be a swing and a miss because people are not entertained.
Many call the magazine racist … and demand that they pull the new issue. While Charlie Hebdo calls himself a satire, many say it’s going too far – mock Floyd’s death for cheap excitement. Not only that, but it’s inaccurate … according to Harry and Meghan.

Remember, Harry explicitly excluded his grandparents as the party that allegedly applied skin color concerns as it relates to Archie. There is also a lot of speculation Prince Charles or Prince William – but the latter denied so much.
Anyway … Charlie Hebdo did not respond to the criticism.
