Read the surprise commencement speech Meghan Markle made to the graduating class of Immaculate Heart High School regarding George Floyd's death

Get push notifications with news, features and more."She had planned to share a heartfelt congratulations to the class of 2020, who have worked so hard over the past four years, by sharing some words of support, encouragement, and offering some memories of her own time at the school," a spokesperson for Meghan, 38, said.

"And so did so many other people whose names we know and whose names we do not know. Stephon Clark, his life mattered."And I was thinking about this moment when I was a sophomore in high school. I was 15. And as you know, sophomore year is the year that we do volunteer work, which is a prerequisite for graduating.

"And I can't imagine that at 17 or 18 years old, which is how old you are now, that you would have to have a different version of that same type of experience. That's something that you should have an understanding of, but an understanding of as a history lesson, not as your reality. So I am sorry that in a way we have not gotten the world to the place that you deserve it to be."The other thing though that I do remember about that time was how people came together.

'Absolutely devastating': Meghan Markle pays tribute to George Floyd in graduation address'I know you know black lives matter ... we need you,' Markle told the graduating class at her former high school in Los Angeles. Star-F’r Thomas Lane said something 2xs- he wasn't silent but silenced by the actual killer of Mr. Floyd. America is burning for what? Floyd's legacy? Lane is the last person to show any remorse in Mr. Floyd's dying moments and now vilified and behind bars. Oh I could think of a few things that are wrong to say!!! What a dumb statement by a clueless woman trying to get airtime from Tyler Perry’s secured compound. I loved when “Hollywood” just drank, went to parties and we all thought they didn’t have a thought in their empty heads
