Charlie Hebdo criticised for 'offensive' cartoon of Meghan
The Guardian (UK) ^ | March 13, 2021 | Mattha Busby

Posted on 03/14/2021 12:10:02 PM PDT by Navy Patriot

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.

We all need a laugh, and who better to laugh at than Charlie, the Royals, the out-of-favor Royal Negro, BLM, George Floyd and the Muzzies?

When one is an ignorant slut, just how can a cartoon about her be offensive?

Ya got me.

The one laying down looks more like AOC than Sparkle.

Maybe that's intentional.

...an equal opportunity offender.

Truth be told, I have a soft spot for equal opportunity lampooning and South Park for their contributions in that direction.

...how can he still be a Prince? Why is Meghan still called the Duchess of anything? Can you run for President if you're a Duchess?

Ginger and Sparkles Markle are not permitted to use "HRH," as the Queen no longer considers them royal highnesses. She also has stripped both of other titles and patronages of charities, and Ginger has lost his military titles. They are still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Ginger is still a prince, just not a royal one. If Sparkles were to run for U.S. political office, the Constitution would oblige her to give up her Duchess title.

Clear as mud?

By all means feel free to grab on that: “They Had it Coming!” sword. Just be aware that that particular sword has *two* edges to it...

My Grandparents had a bitch named “Duchess”. But, SHE was a purebred.

Is that sweat on her forehead, or leftovers from the casting couch?...
She’s a dirty ho, and he’s a cuck.

There are not enough ‘offensive’ cartoons of Meghan.
We need much more!

Criticized for being offensive?

For a satire mag that’s a compliment, I congratulate them.

Thanks.

I know you and I are having fun.

Hopefully, a few Freepers are also having fun.

I suspect a cartoon with Meghan kneeling on the queen's neck would be perfectly OK.
