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.

Thanks.

They are such royal pia targets!

So offensive! They made the queen French!

Hairy legs and no hosiery. Never.

LOL!

Ironic as it can get!

[caww]

That would be a better example for sure.

I think her title would more properly be spelled ‘Douche-ess’. JMO.

I think it is tasteless and barbaric. But, look at the low bar for a laugh in the USA.

Product of “The Dumbing Down of America”.

It’s exactly Mad Magazine but it’s pretty funny

I thought it said “Black bitch loses her attitude”

They had BLM protests in France last spring.

It is pretty funny. And they don’t have to worry about the Royal family shooting up their offices either (unlike other groups they’ve offended)

[maddogtiger]

They all look alike.

The Frogs routinely beat the crap (or worse) out of Blacks With Attitude, and nothing is done about it, or will be.

A few BLM agitators simply tagged along with the massive Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) protests to fabricate a Leftist Narrative and appear to have influence and following.

The Terrorists that determine who lives and dies in France are the Muzzies.

Any beheadings yet???

Halima Begum, the chief executive of the Runnymede Trust, the UK’s race equality thinktank, said that it was “wrong on every level”.

“The Queen as George Floyd’s murderer crushing Meghan’s neck?” she tweeted. “Meghan saying she’s unable to breathe? This doesn’t push boundaries, make anyone laugh or challenge racism. It demeans the issues and causes offence, across the board.”

Well I laughed.

[Navy Patriot]

Well I laughed.

As did I.
