Susan Hussey, 83, resigns after Ngozi Fulani, who was born in Britain and works for a domestic abuse support group, revealed she had repeatedly asked her 'what part of Africa are you from?'.

abc.net.au/news/prince-william-godmother-apologises-ngozi-fulani-over-racism/101784596Prince William's godmother has met to offer her sincere apologies to a woman over "unacceptable" comments she had made about her race and nationality at an official royal reception last month, Buckingham Palace said on Friday.

Susan Hussey, 83, quit her role in the royal family's household after Ngozi Fulani, who was born in Britain and works for a domestic abuse support group, revealed she had repeatedly asked her "what part of Africa are you from?" at an event hosted by Camilla, the Queen Consort. "Ms Fulani, who has unfairly received the most appalling torrent of abuse on social media and elsewhere, has accepted this apology and appreciates that no malice was intended."The incident followed accusations of racism against the royal household made by King Charles III's younger son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, and repeated in their Netflix documentary series.

Fulani set the royals up, she went there with intent. What a low life

I ask people where they are from all the time. This is not racism.....it's utter bullshit

As a biracial woman,I’m disappointed in NgoziFulani ‘s lack of integrity and cultural competence and in the RoyalFamily failing to educate on tolerance, respect and awareness across generation and cultural differences. They should both apologize to LadySusanHussey

There wasn't any racism. Lady Susan Hussey asked Marlene Headley who goes by the name of Ngozi Fulani & dresses in traditional West African clothes even though her parents come from the Carribbean, where she came from. That's not racist that just taking an interest in someone.

Is that where you from? Yes but where are you really from😂

Harry is right. They’re all racist.

Mistake to apologise

'SH: No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?' 'SH: 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?' + more

So we calling it a ‘racism incident’ now? A black lady born in England named Marlene, changed her name to sound African and then dresses traditional African and then gets offended when asked what part of Africa she’s from? Marlene should apologise.

I remember when we respected our elderly enough to realise they weren't going to be completely cognisant of the latest PC requirements of the young. The pile-on was basic elder abuse IMHO.

She changed her anglophone name to this. She wore traditional attire. Her ‘charity’ is being investigated by the charities commission in the UK. I wouldn’t be apologising to her. She is, in my honest opinion, a massive grifter.

Remember viewers, if Black people do mindless mass murder, it's racist to point out that they are Black.

I don't consider it racism when people enquire about my backstory. I do consider people who distinguish racial profiles as racists. One Race=The Human Race. We all are individuals in the Human Gene pool.Ngozi is a racist obviously.

The racists underneath this tweet all crying their not racist while being upset a white lady apologised to a Black lady yeah you're a racist

Shows who the better person is …

She asked 'what part of Africa are you from?' Can’t see that’s at all racist when Fulani celebrates African culture

Nothing to apologise for. The royals threw an old lady under a bus to please a race baiting activist.

For God’s sake do some journalisming. Fulani (Headley) is a fake, a fraud & a race baiter.

Don't care about the Royals much, so didn't care about this story. But, when I looked it up, it's interesting. She changed her name to this. That's fine, people change their name. But the name 'Fulani'? This is deeper & more interesting than I first thought...

We need to stop apologising.

This further supportive evidence of the type of racism that Megan encountered within this shit royal circuit.

Literally the conversation that every Asian person has with 20% of the people they meet: “But where are you from?”

And does Ngozi apologise for what was basically setting a trap?

Europeans don't roll out enough red carpet for their African replacements.

So she should. But why has it taken so long?

wow that took AWHILE. Has King Charles apologized for this yet?

Questions ‘raised’ amid preliminary investigation of Ngozi Fulani’s charity ‘Sistah Space’Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue says the charity of Ngozi Fulani, who accused royal aide Lady Susan Hussey of racism, is under a preliminary investigation. “Apparently there have been allegations that the charity has misused a lot of the funds that were given to it,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Rowan Dean. “We know that they filed their accounts ... over two months later than you’re supposed to and it's just a preliminary investigation but it does raise questions about how the Royal Family and the Palace handled this issue with Ngozi Fulani.” What a massive surprise the lovely English Rose 🌹 as anyone would be aware of even at first glance 🫣 Surely she wouldn’t be up to no good 😱
