Lady Susan Hussey repeatedly asked about Ngozi Fulani's background at the event, asking where in Africa she came from, leaving Ms Fulani feeling insulted as she explained she is British.
Lady Susan, who was a member of the Buckingham Palace household, resigned and apologised over "unacceptable and regrettable comments" made at a reception held by the Queen Consort.
Ms Fulani, CEO of Hackney charity Sistah Space, a group that supports African and Caribbean women affected by domestic and sexual abuse, said she had suffered "trauma" and "damage" after being "invited and then insulted" at the event.
And speaking to LBC on Wednesday, she revealed nobody at the Palace had spoken to her about the incident.
The Palace said it had reached out to her and Prince William said there was no room for racism in society.
Ms Fulani told LBC's Shelagh Fogarty the whole experience was "slow" and "painful" and she "just wanted it to end".

She said she stood at the edge of the room but Twitter saying she was chatting it up with camilla..who she had earlier trashed as racist in defending markle
The level of nonsense is magnificent.
Black dancer brought er African dance troupe to perform at the Brits Prince Charles Theater years ago.
Is that Royal racism?
Insulted? Is it an insult to be from Africa?
Good Lord!
The charity supports african and carribean women.
Lady Susan was there TO SUPPORT YOUR CHARITY and was just curious about where you came from and your heritage.
If everything is racist, then nothing is racist.

Chip on her shoulder.
I can see how Ms Fulani felt excluded by Lady Susan Hussey’s questions, which rejected Fulani’s being British, especially since Hussey pushed way too far.
I mean, it’s kind of a bummer when you are in the land you were born and raised in and someone acts like you couldn’t possibly be just because of the color of your skin when there are plenty of others in your same position.
Imagine a woman you love who worked extremely hard to become a mwdical doctor and she meets someone who says, Oh, you’re a doctor? What kind of doctor?
A medical doctor.
A medical doctor? Not a PhD kind of doctor?
Yes, an actual medical doctor.
(Suspiciously) Where did you go to medical school?
Harvard.
What? Nah, you’re too pretty to be a doctor from Harvard.
I think it can be hard for people who are accepted as fitting in to understand the difficulty presented by a person’s apparent refusal to believe you fit in, which is for example what women went through in my own lifetime.
So I think we need to pay more attention to what others are saying to us and not always have a knee-jerk reaction.
Should have asker her where she gets her hair done—then suggest she fire them. Fool doesn’t have a mirror?
She’s wearing a necklace that looks like it’s make out of teeth and a leopard skin moo-moo.
She reminds me of The Little Rascal’s Stymie’s Uncle George, a cannibal from Borneo. He liked to chase people with a machete yelling “Yum yum, eat ‘em up!”
I think people of every fricking color need to develop thicker skins.
Christianity is a love-of-God based faith.
Marxism is a hate-and-envy based faith. Without race hatred, class hatred, hatred of wealth, it could not exist.
Lady Hussey was the late Queens Lady in Waiting so this isn’t her first event. She’s also 83. The offended woman is dressed in foreign national garb. The questions were natural given her costume.
Agree completely. With that costume, in that context, it was a natural assumption. If the woman wasn’t clear in her response, then Lady Hussey might well have tried to get a clearer answer.
I mean, it’s kind of a bummer when you are in the land you were born and raised in and someone acts like you couldn’t possibly be just because of the color of your skin when there are plenty of others in your same position.
If you dress in foreign clothes it is natural to be questioned on your origin.
People seem to be overlooking her clothing. It screams “foreigner”.
