Royal aide quits amid racism row

“Where do you really come from?” Lady Susan Hussey asked Ngozi Fulani

Lady Susan Hussey, a longtime aide to Queen Elizabeth II, has resigned from palace duties after offending the CEO of a black women’s charity with supposedly racist remarks. Buckingham Palace called her comments about the CEO’s nationality “unacceptable and deeply regrettable.”

Ngozi Fulani claimed on Wednesday that a certain “Lady SH” approached her at a palace event the day before, touched her hair, and asked her “where are you from?” Fulani, who was born in Britain but is of African and Caribbean descent, said that she was British, to which Hussey allegedly replied “no, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?”

Aged 83, Hussey was a close confidant of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and had been appointed ‘Lady of the Household’ by King Charles after the queen’s death in September. 

Mixed feelings about yesterday's visit to Buckingham Palace. 10 mins after arriving, a member of staff, Lady SH, approached me, moved my hair to see my name badge. The conversation below took place. The rest of the event is a blur.
