Create Rasis Comments On Guests, Britain's Royal Adjutant Resigns
JAKARTA - Present at Buckingham Palace as an invitation to an event held by the British Empire and attended by Camilla's widow, the leader of Ngozi Fulani's charity body underwent inadequate treatment, leading to the resignation of a senior member of the royal family.
Senior member of the royal family Lady Susan Hussey apologized and resigned, after she repeatedly asked Ngozi Fulani where she came from while attending charity events at the palace on Tuesday.
Susan Hussey is known to have worked at the palace for a long time, devoted herself to serving as a member of the Royal Household and aide to trust.
Lady Hussey is also a confidant of the late Queen Elizabeth II, accompanying her at the Duke of Edinburgh cemetery last year.
Ngozi Fulani, said she was "truly stunned by the comment of Prince William'sAKAN mother.
Ngozi Fulani claims Susan Hussey has moved her hair to show her name badge and is constantly guiding her from where she comes from, despite being told she is a British national, as quoted by The Guardian December 1.
"Where did you come from?" Hussey asked Fulani, who was immediately answered, "Sistah Space," referring to her charity.
"No, where did you come from? Hussey asked again, and Fulani answered, "We're based on Hackney."
"No, where do you come from Africa?" chased Laddy Hussey.
The question from Laddy Hussey continued, even though Fulani had explained that she was born in England and was an English, revealing that her parents arrived in the country in the 1950s.
Until finally Fulani asserted that he was of African descent, Caribbean descent, and British national.
A spokesman for Prince William said "racism has no place in our society".
"The comment is unacceptable, and it is true that the individual has stepped aside immediately," the spokesman said, quoted by the BBC.
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.Thanks @ManduReid & @SuzanneEJacob for support🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/OUbQKlabyq

The palace described the statement as "unacceptable and regrettable". In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "We are taking this incident very seriously and have immediately investigated to establish the full details.
"In this case, unacceptable and regrettable comments have been made. We have contacted Ngozi Fulani on this issue, and invited her to discuss all elements of her experience directly if she wanted to," the kingdom said.
"Meanwhile, the individual concerned would like to express his deep apologies for the injuries incurred and has removed from his role of honor immediately."
"All household members are reminded of diversity policies and inclusiveness that they must uphold at all times," the statement continued.
Ngozi Fulani himself attended a reception at Buckingham Palace representing London-based charity Sistah Space, which supports women of African and Caribbean descent across the UK facing domestic and sexual harassment.
Together with 300 guests, he was invited to the event, where Camilla's widow, Camilla, had warned of a "global pandemic of violence against women".
Apart from her, the guests of the event included Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska, Queen Mathilde of Belgium and Queen Rania of Jordan.
The incident is the latest involving the royal family on allegations of racism, after the youngest son Charles Prince Harry and his wife Meghan made accusations in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
Meghan, in an interview, said an unnamed family member had asked, before their son Archie was born, how dark his skin was.
The allegations are clearly pungent by the monarchy, which promises such problems will be handled very seriously, and prompts William, Harry's older brother to comment a few days later: "We are not a racist family."
