A magazine has sparked outrage by featuring a cartoon of the Queen kneeling on Meghan Markle's neck on its front cover.
The caricature is a disturbing recreation of the controversial death of George Floyd in America last year, as reports The Mirror.
The image has a tag line that reads: "Why Meghan left Buckingham...." with her replying "because I couldn't breathe anymore".
It comes days after Meghan made claims of racism against the Royal family in an interview with Oprah Winfrey which was screened in the US on Sunday.
The cover has been widely condemned after it was accused of using Mr Floyd's death - that happened after a police officer was filmed kneeling on his neck - to make money.
The Charlie Hebdo illustration prompted the CEO of anti-racism think tank the Runnymede Trust, Dr Halima Begum, to describe it as 'wrong on every level'.
Tweeting about the French satirical magazine's cover, she said: She said: " #CharlieHebdo, this is wrong on every level. The Queen as #GeorgeFloyd 's murderer crushing Meghan's neck? #Meghan saying she's unable to breathe?
"This doesnt push boundaries, make anyone laugh or challenge #racism. It demeans the issues & causes offence, across the board."
Black and Asian Lawyers For Justice tweeted that the cover was 'outrageous, disgusting, fascistic racism' adding that the magazine was 'pimping George Floyd's trauma for profit'.
Campaign group Windrush Anchor posted: "A poor and ill-conceived response from #CharlieHebdo which if anything inflames the issue. This brand of simplistic satire has no place in the fight against racism. Utterly appalling and deeply saddening."
While Twitter user @_SJPeace_ tweeted to his 346,000 followers that the magazine 'should be removed'.
He said: "A French magazine is laughing about Floyd’s death...and Meghan Markle.
It read 'why Meghan left buckingham' and 'because she couldn’t breathe' This magazine is notorious for being racist and offensive and gaslighting people of color. This Magazine NEEDS TO BE REMOVED!"
The couple claimed an unnamed royal had made remarks about son Archie's skin colour before he was born, sparking crisis talks at Buckingham Palace. It has since emerged that it was not the Queen or Prince Philip who made the comment.
On Tuesday Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying that issues raised in the interview, including the allegation of racism, were "concerning", and said the matter would be dealt with privately.
Prince William subsequently denied his family were racist when he was asked during a visit to a school in east London earlier this week.
The image of the Queen kneeling on Meghan's neck comes after Mr Floyd died in May last year when Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
On Friday it was revealed his family will receive $27million (£19m) payout to settle a lawsuit over his death and a jury has been selected for the start of his trial this week.
It isn't the first time Charlie Hebdo has sparked outrage with satirical cartoons, one of which led to a terror attack when it published images of the prophet Muhammad.
In January 2015, brothers Saad and Cherif Kouachi armed with Kalashnikovs attacked the magazine's Paris headquarters shouting "the prophet is avenged" as they murdered 12 people.
They claimed the publication used blasphemy to stir up hatred against Muslims around the world.
