Charlie Hebdo's Meghan Markle Cover Blasted as Racist For Evoking George Floyd

Meghan Markle has been depicted as George Floyd on the cover of controversial French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, sparking an outcry.
The Duchess of Sussex said a royal family member made comments about how dark her unborn baby's skin would be in her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
However, Charlie Hebdo's coverage of the claims triggered a backlash after a cartoon on the front cover depicted Queen Elizabeth II with her knee on Meghan's neck.
The magazine is the same one that was targeted by terrorists, Said and Cherif Kouachi, who killed 12 and wounded 11 in the newsroom in January 2015.
