This is how Ngozi Fulani, the founder of the charity @sistahspace_, which provides support for African and Caribbean heritage women affected by abuse, has described her interaction with a royal aide at a reception hosted by the queen consort, Camilla. Fulani claimed the aide, who has been identified as Susan Hussey - the late queen’s lady-in-waiting and Prince William’s godmother - moved her hair to reveal her name badge and persistently questioned her over where her “people” came from, despite having been told she was a British national. Fulani said she was left feeling traumatised and violated by the encounter, which took place on Tuesday at a violence against women and girls reception. A spokesperson for the Prince of Wales said the comments were unacceptable and that “racism has no place in our society”. Buckingham Palace launched an immediate investigation, describing the remarks as “unacceptable and deeply regrettable”. They said the aide concerned has offered her “profound apologies” for hurt caused and has resigned her honorary position. Read Fulani’s reaction to the messages she has received since the incident, how people who witnessed the exchange have responded, and Buckingham Palace’s statement via the link in our bio or stories. #monarchy #royalfamily #uknews #buckinghampalace #discrimination #racism
