Gutless wonder King Charles throws elderly White palace worker and friend of his late mother under the bus for palace raycissms
(archive.ph)https://archive.ph/sEYybLady Susan Hussey, 83, longtime confidante of Queen Elizabeth II and godmother of the Prince of Wales, Prince William, has resigned from her Buckingham Palace duties after a Black charity leader revealed a racist exchange that took place at a reception hosted by the Queen consort, Camilla, on Tuesday at the palace.
Ngozi Fulani, the CEO of Sistah Space—a London-based organization that helps women of African and Caribbean heritage who have experienced abuse—tweeted a paraphrased transcript of the conversation that has racked up more than 34,000 likes and 12,000 retweets since it was tweeted early in the morning on Nov. 30.
Fulani said Hussey touched her hair uninvited and repeatedly asked where she was from, even though she was born and raised in England.
Fulani says Hussey asked “What part of Africa are YOU from?”

A Kensington Palace spokesperson for the Prince of Wales told Sky News that Hussey’s comments were “really disappointing” and “unacceptable,” stating, “it is right that the individual has stepped aside with immediate effect.” Hussey served as Queen Elizabeth II’s lady-in-waiting for over 60 years, and was appointed “Lady of the Household,” an honorary role, by King Charles.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told CNN, “We have reached out to Ngozi Fulani on this matter, and are inviting her to discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes,” and on behalf of Hussey, stated, “the individual concerned would like to express her profound apologies for the hurt caused and has stepped aside from her honorary role with immediate effect.”
It also happened the same day that Neil Basu, ex-British counter-terrorism chief who used to oversee royal protection, detailed the “disgusting and very real” threats that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received because of their interracial marriage. In an interview with Britain’s Channel 4 news, Basu said he had teams regularly investigating threats to her life from far-right extremists.
