A family member of George Floyd has spoken out in support of Harry and Meghan after their bombshell Netflix show sparked outrage in Britain.
Meghan and Harry have regularly spoken out about issues of race in Britain which have caused consternation in the UK and led to calls to strip them of their titles.
Meanwhile, their adopted home country of the US is drumming support for the Sussexes and have been praised for speaking out about issues of race and prejudice.
In their new series they blast the country’s ‘unconscious bias’.
The unnamed family member of Floyd told US correspondent Noel Phillips on Good Morning Britain: ‘We will gladly take them if Britain don’t want them.’
Meghan’s attacks on Britain, slamming the country’s ‘unconscious bias’ in her new series, have often seen her praised by activists.
Meghan has regularly spoken out about Floyd who was killed by a police officer who knelt on his neck in 2020, sparking global protests over racial injustice.
Weeks after the murder, the Duchess addressed graduating pupils at her old school, Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles, where she also named other African Americans who were killed in the US by police in recent years.
The former actress, who attended the school from the age of 11 to 18, said: ‘George Floyd’s life mattered and Breonna Taylor’s life mattered and Philando Castile’s life mattered and Tamir Rice’s life mattered.’
On speaking out about Mr Floyd, she said: ‘I wasn’t sure what I could say to you. I wanted to say the right thing and I was really nervous that it would get picked apart. And I realised the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing.’
In a speech later that year, Meghan said Floyd’s death ‘invoked centuries of unhealed wounds’.
