TORONTO -- Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, gave a heartfelt video speech to this year’s graduating class at her former high school, offering her congratulations while highlighting the impact of George Floyd’s death and racial injustice being felt around the world.

Markle began by telling students that she was nervous about what to say to them as she prepared to give her speech, wondering if her words would be “picked apart.” She later said she realized that “the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing.”while a white Minnesota police officer pressed a knee on his neck, and the nationwide protests that erupted afterwards “absolutely devastating.

However, Markle also recalled the L.A. riots as a moment in time that brought people and communities together in solidarity. While she admitted it was not the celebration that students envisioned, Markle offered the graduating class of 2020 words of encouragement on finishing high school and being a part of a movement of rebuilding. “Because when the foundation is broken, so are we,” Markle said. “You are going to lead with love, lead with compassion. You are going to use your voice,” she added, noting that many of the students were of or near legal voting age, which is 18 in the United States.

Oh markle, shut up, we don’t care what you say.....oh please remember me.

Here come the racists

Funny how Megxit wants unity now, but she took Harry away from his family and friends...she is sooooooo fake and materialistic...

Is she talking about Trudeau? Lol

Saying nothing fully describes the situation. It describes the murderous act as well as the bully using it to split the nation.

Actually there is a whole lot of wrong things you can say. Hello, Drew Brees?

Why is she speaking ? HarryandMeghan

Why the hell are we listening to this person. She comes from extreme privilege. The wealthy like her do not know what it’s like. If police pull her over she calls her expensive lawyer who shows up and attacks the police with tenacity. So sick of celebrities talking out their ass!

All cheap talk and PR scams.

We know you love Obama he was in power 8 years & did NOTHING for blacks. Go & vote for WHO Biden? He was also there for 8 years & did nothing.Since when do Royals get involved in politics Harry's grandma won't be happy but you don't care right?

Shut up Ding Bat.

She wants privacy but still has to get into the limelight.

❤️🇨🇦❤️

I thought the plan was to stay out of the spotlight? 🤔

We did t want you in our country so you went to the only place yo7 can be loved . 🖕

Is that a challenge?

What is with the music drowning out her voice? Good thing we can read.

First off she is no longer a 'Duchess' she is just a commoner

Is this the girl who got caught pretending to board up windows for instagram?

Irrelevant opinion from a useless 'royal' rug.

Looks like an attention grab from someone not liking being in the spotlight 🤣🤣🤣

Al Sharpton thinks otherwise...

Floyd's death and many others too.

What’s there to keep saying Will it happen again probably. Everybody is saying that Loyd didn’t deserve what happened. All 4 cops have been fired, arrested and will be tried.

Or, take 17 minutes out of your life to listen to an interesting perspective.

What the world has is too many experts on this.

Exploiting a death for attention? There are courts to provide judgments.
