The French magazine Charlie Hebdo is being labeled as racist for publishing a front-page image showing Queen Elizabeth II kneeling on Meghan Markle’s neck.
The image is accompanied by a headline asking why Meghan left Buckingham Palace and the answer, when translated into English, reading “Because I couldn’t breathe anymore.”
The mocking reference to George Floyd’s death, allegedly by a Minneapolis police office kneeling on him, immediately led to an outcry.
Halima Begum, the head of the British anti-racist think tank Runnymede Trust, tweeted that the image calling it “wrong on every level,” according to the Mirror.
Black and Asian Lawyers For Justice called the cover “outrageous, disgusting, fascistic racism.”
