Prince William’s godmother and royal aide resigns after racist comments
Global News
Lady Susan Hussey was allegedly unrelenting in her line of questioning, repeatedly asking a British-born Black woman where she was 'from.'
Prince William’s godmother, who also served as the late Queen Elizabeth’s lady-in-waiting, has stepped down after she made racist and “unacceptable” comments to a Black guest at Buckingham Palace.
Lady Susan Hussey served the queen for more than 60 years and had stayed on in an honorary role to support King Charles.
That all ended Wednesday after she made “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments” to Ngozi Fulani, a British-born anti-domestic violence advocate, during a reception hosted by Queen Consort Camilla on Nov. 29.
Fulani, who was at the event representing the London charity Sistah Space, tweeted about her interaction with Lady Hussey, saying she was repeatedly questioned about “what part of Africa” she was from.
Fulani, who is the director of the organization, did not name Lady Hussey directly in the tweet, rather referring to her as “Lady SH.” She said she was approached within 10 minutes of arriving at the event and her hair was moved to see her name tag before enduring a line of persistent questioning about where she was from.
In a followup tweet, Fulani said she did not wish to reveal the full identity of the person involved.
