Prince William's godmother Lady Susan Hussey RESIGNS from Buckingham Palace role after 'quizzing black charity founder about what part of Africa she is from' - as race row threatens to overshadow Cambridges' landmark US tour today
daily mail ^ | 11/30/2022 | MARTIN ROBINSON, CHIEF REPORTER FOR MAILONLINE and NICK CRAVEN

Lady Susan Hussey, one of Queen Consort Camilla's closest aides, quit today after she allegedly refused to believe a black domestic abuse campaigner was British and asked her: 'What part of Africa are you from?'

Ngozi Fulani, director of the east London charity Sistah Space, said she was so shocked by the incident at Buckingham Palace yesterday that she 'couldn't report it to the Queen Consort' who had thrown the reception.

She said: 'It was such a shock to me and the other two women that we were stunned to temporary silence. I just stood at the edge of the room, smiled and engaged briefly with who spoke to me until I could leave'.

The Palace said it took the incident extremely seriously' and had investigated immediately. Staff have been 'reminded of the diversity and inclusivity policies which they are required to uphold at all times', a spokesman said.

The resignation is humiliating for Camilla and a disaster for Lady Hussey's godson Prince William, who lands in the US today with the Princess of Wales for a three-day tour now at risk of being overshadowed by the race row.

Referring to the aide as Lady SH, Ngozi Fulani said being asked by a member of the royal household where she 'really came from' at Camilla's key engagement on violence against women on Tuesday will 'never leave me'.

The woman is from an older generation. I dont think she meant this as an insult...more in the way of where are your ancestors from. Like Meghan claiming she is 63% Nigerian.

But of course now you have to be careful about the way your phrase things since insults are seen everywhere

Looking at Ngozi Fulani name and how she was dressed, I can see how Lady Susan Hussey was confused.

you make a good point. She was dressed like someone making a tribute to her African roots or actually from Africa.

So, was she from Africa? Why not just answer the questions?

So, a dude from Soho with red hair and a beard, wearing a green vest should be offended when asked by someone he’s never met about which part of Ireland he’s from?

Her connection to Africa must have been thinner than she wished to let on.

Yes. And I guess it turns out she is African.

Dont really understand what having spent time in France means in the conversation unless she was trying to say she might have French ancestors because her family lived there.

If a racist black female can take down a royal family, I’d guess a troop of cub scouts armed with sticks, iron and flint could take down the entire British empire.

Never mind a green vest.

This ridiculous wench’s attire would be akin to your subject dressing up as a leprechaun, then getting mad when he’s taken for Irish.

Oh, she was cosplaying an African and didn’t like being called out for it. Got it.

Meghan is doing her best to take down the Monarchy. Now she is accepting a reward for standing up to racism in the monarchy or some such thing from one branch of the Kennedys.

No one from Africa says they are African. They are from a specific country in Africa, or their heritage is from a specific tribe in Africa. It's not an insult to someone from Africa to ask them where in Africa they are from.

She is being cagey because she is a liar.

I spent time in France. What part? Normandy or Paris or Provence. It's a conversation not an insult unless you are embarrassed about where you are from or where you aren't actually from.
