Last year, in response to Meghan Markle’s claim that a member of the royal family had speculated about the skin tone of her and Prince Harry’s unborn child, Prince William famously reassured the public that the royals are “very much not a racist family.” The latest from this not-at-all-racist family? The BBC reports that a senior staff member of the palace has resigned after being accused of making racist comments to a guest.
Although Buckingham Palace has not identified the individual, it has been widely reported that it was Lady Susan Hussey, the late Queen’s lady-in-waiting, a senior member of the royal family and reportedly Prince William’s godmother. Ngozi Fulani, who was born in Britain and works for Sistah Space, an organization that provides support for African and Caribbean women affected by abuse, wrote on Twitter that during her visit to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday for an event hosted by Queen Camilla, a royal staff member, whom she identified as “Lady SH,” asked her a series of uncomfortable questions about her identity. “Mixed feelings about yesterday’s visit to Buckingham Palace,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “10 mins after arriving, a member of staff, Lady SH, approached me, moved my hair to see my name badge.” Big yikes!
