NEW: Ngozi Fulani said she did not receive a personal apology from the palace after the incident and that abuse has been directed at her since she went public with the claims.
by a senior lady-in-waiting at a Buckingham Palace reception, said she did not receive a personal apology from the palace after the incident and that abuse has been directed at her since she went public with the claims. She said the palace did not act to try and help stop the abuse but could have done so., which supports women and girls of African heritage facing violence. She said dealing with the fallout from the incident had cost the charity a “fortune.
Fulani says she answered that the organization is based in Hackney in northeast London. “No,” Hussey allegedly replied, “What part of Africa are you from?” Fulani said she explained that she was born in the U.K. and is British, but Hussey reportedly continued to press: “No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?”
Fulani says she was left feeling “violated” by the exchange, her account of which she then published on social media. The palace appeared dismayed Wednesday by Fulani’s “fresh assertions” and said the palace had “made clear the comments made by Lady Susan were deeply regrettable,” adding, “Lady Susan immediately expressed her sincere apologies, and stepped aside from her honorary role. These apologies were reiterated in person at a meeting in December, filled with warmth and understanding.”
