Image in French magazine depicts
Queen kneeling on Duchess of Sussex’s neck, echoing George Floyd’s killing
French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has sparked outrage with a cartoon depiction of Queen Elizabeth kneeling on the neck of
Meghan Markle, echoing the death of George Floyd.
The controversial publication’s cartoon comes after the
Duchess of Sussex, and her husband,
Prince Harry, told US interviewer
Oprah Winfrey of apparent
racism within the
Royal Family, though they did not criticise the Queen. But Markle said courtiers refused her permission to leave
Kensington Palace on occasion and that she once only left twice in four months, leading her to experience severe loneliness and suicidal ideations.
