'It wasn’t easy, but she was determined to say something,' says a source close to Meghan. 'These are her words, her sentiments, it’s 100 percent her.”
Before she was a duchess, she often used her platform to comment on social injustice and politics, speaking up about Brexit and attackingand “divisive.” However, when she married into the royal family, she was told she would have to put her political opinions to one side and channel her energy into charity work instead.
Sources close to Meghan say she was excited to be part of the virtual graduation ceremony, but knew there was no way she could speak to a group of compassionate, service-driven young women without addressing George Floyd and the racism that plagues America. “And I remember the curfew, and I remember rushing back home and on that drive home, seeing ash fall from the sky and smelling the smoke and seeing the smoke billow out of buildings and seeing people run out of buildings carrying bags and looting,” she continued. “And I remember seeing men in the back of a van just holding guns and rifles. And I remember pulling up at the house and seeing the tree, that had always been there, completely charred. And those memories don’t go away.
