Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has shared her sadness about racial divisions in the United States, telling students at her former high school that she felt moved to speak out because the life of George Floyd mattered. Meghan told graduates at Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles that she wrestled with the question of what to tell them, given the days of protests after the May 25 death of Floyd. The handcuffed black man pleaded for air as a white police officer pressed a knee on his neck in Minneapolis. In a virtual address, she said she realized the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because Floyd's life mattered. Meghan said she wished the graduates were starting their young lives in a better world.
