It can be brutal but there's no point beating about the bush as evidenced by some comments here. We subscribe to it.
EDIT The other satirical magazine Le Canard Enchaîné is more subtle, probably similar to Private Eye.

“The Royal African Company (RAC) was an English mercantile (trading) company set up in 1660 by the royal Stuart family and City of London merchants to trade along the west coast of Africa. It was led by the Duke of York, who was the brother of Charles II and later took the throne as James II. It shipped more African slaves to the Americas than any other institution in the history of the Atlantic slave trade”

So back in the day, when racism was more prevalent, you equate to the current royal family?

 

[BoroMart]

How the hell do they get away with that??? Basically accusing the Queen of being racist.....obviously a left wing rag.

well, free speech innit

Personally I don't think she is a massive racist (although not sure about her son) just a corrupt thief.

well they certainly inherited a lot of wealth through it, which they invested in various subjugated lands to profiteer from.

Free speech unless it is a racist slur?

That isn't a racist slur. It's a slur on someone as a racist.

Although I would argue that the queen is metaphorical for the royal family in this image, which then might be true

Like I say you keep referring to the history books like it is current day life.

Ah so that’s ok then?

She profiteered off these lands in her lifetime. That's a fact and she still does.

You’re obsessed man, it’s unhealthy.

Not as unhealthy as a corrupt monarchy

I doubt the Queen and the palace would lower herself to take these matters to court, unlike Merkel is eager to take the press to court.....

If Meghan feels she is being wronged then she should be able to take the press to court to put the matter straight. Just like we all have that right.

 

[Trug]

Not a pleasant institution ....

Why?- I would be interested to know

Do you think the Queen should do the same with this publication then?

Where are you getting all this nonsense from???

Is this a serious question? You must have been asleep

She has that right if she wants to exercise it..
