Lady Susan Hussey, the longstanding Lady-in-waiting of the late Queen Elizabeth II, has apologised and stepped aside from her role in the Royal Household after a British charity executive accused the royal aide of asking her where she was “really” from.
According to Ngozi Fulani, a charity founder, the aristocrat questioned her background at a charity event at Buckingham palace on Tuesday.
Ms Fulani, said she was “totally stunned” by the remarks made by Prince William’s godmother.
The palace has since commented, calling Lady Susan’s behaviour as “unacceptable and deeply regrettable”.
A spokesperson for Prince William said “racism has no place in our society”.
“The comments were unacceptable, and it is right that the individual has stepped aside with immediate effect,” they said.
Lady Hussey, 83, was a close confidante of the late Queen and accompanied her at the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh last year.
She was a key and trusted figure in the Royal Household for decades, and part of her latest role had involved helping to host occasions at Buckingham Palace.
This is not the first time that Ms Fulani has made a statement about domestic violence issues in the Royal household. In fact, Ngozi made controversial commentary on the Royal family, accusing King Charles and Queen Camilla of “domestic violence” towards Meghan. “A shocking unproven claim,” according to Wootton.
She made the claim in March 2021 when Piers Morgan resigned from Good Morning Britain after saying he did not believe Meghan’s claims in her interview with Oprah Winfrey about her requests for mental health treatment being refused by palace officials.
