Charlie Hebo, the Queen and Markle

Leg End Reject

I think you need to look at it in the context of the interview. Meghan and Harry stated they left to avoid media intrusion, but they said this in one of the most heavily publicised interviews without a hint of irony or self awareness. (The breathing analogy)

The George Floyd angle is because of the accusation of racism. However, M & H didn't want to identify the racist out of apparent concern for how this would affect them.

It was later clarified that it wasn't the queen or Philip, so all of the others are now suspected racists.

They're fairly exaggerating her skin tone in that cartoon. Would that be considered racist these days?

I didn't realise that she was mixed race until the wedding and I saw her mother.

They're fairly exaggerating the Queens skin colour as well, but it's not trendy to point that out.

Charlie hebdo is a rag just like the sun or the national enquirer. All its good for is wiping your ass with it.
And they wonder why they got shot to bits.

It's clear you don't read French and haven't even so much as leafed through an issue of Charlie Hebdo.


And as for the 'shot to bits' comment, what a profoundly ugly thing to even think to type never mind actually post it.

It's the role of satirists to piss on sacred cows. Job done.

What does it say?

The Queen kneeling on Meghan Markle’s neck in what appears to be a recreation of George Floyd’s death.

Alongside the caricature, a headline reads, “Why Meghan left Buckingham”, with the Duchess of Sussex replying – from underneath the Queen’s knee – “Because I couldn't breathe anymore”.

I'm sure Charlie Hebdo would approve

"J'ai ne pas Charlie" is that what I should be putting on my Facebook now to get the likes??

I thought the Charlie Hebdo cartoon was funny. I've never thought any of the other ones were but this one gave me a laugh.

I don’t think they are. Looks similar to her skin colour in this interview:

I think it must be the lighting. Even Harry looks a but tanned.
