Prince William's godmother, Lady Susan Hussey, has resigned from her post after racist comments she made to a Black guest, Ngozi Fulani, who was visiting on behalf of a non-profit group.
"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," Fulani wrote."The conversation below took place. The rest of the event is a blur. Thanks @ManduReid & @SuzanneEJacob for support🙏🏾"
"No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?" Fulani says Hussey asked her, additionally claiming that Hussey then said,"Oh I can see I am going to have a challenge getting you to say where you're from. When did you first come here?" Thanks everyone for their support. It is not our wish to reveal the person involved, it is the system that needs to be revised.
