Senior Member of King Charles’ Team Resigns Following Racism Allegations At Palace Event—This Is So Bad!
December 5, 2022 by Maria Pierides
One of King Charles III‘s top palace aides has just resigned following racism allegations that were made against her by a guest who attended the Violence Against Women and Girls Reception hosted by Queen Consort Camilla at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, November 29th.
Following the event, domestic abuse activist Ngozi Fulani – who was born in Britain and attended the event on behalf of Sistah Space, a support group for African and Caribbean women affected by abuse, which the Queen Consort has supported for a long time – took to social media to discuss part of her experience at the reception, which included someone she referred to as “Lady SH” allegedly asking her racially loaded questions about her heritage and background.
Although neither Fulani nor the palace have officially confirmed the identity of the palace aide, it’s widely believed that the aide in question is Lady Susan Hussey, 83, a longstanding lady-in-waiting to the late Queen Elizabeth II – and godmother to Prince William – who King Charles recently made Lady of the Household.
Fulani recounted the conversation she had with Lady SH on Twitter, which included her allegedly asking questions like, “where do your people come from?” and “where do you really come from?” which many people immediately replied to with messages of support. “I’m so sorry you were put through this. Totally unacceptable,” one Twitter user commented. “Sorry you had to go through that. You’d think that they would have had a little decorum at the Palace,” added another.
“Truly abysmal behaviour,” wrote another user, adding: “I am tired of paying for these ‘posh assistants’. Glad she’s gone. They’ve been allowed to get away with this stuff for years. Great you’ve showed them up for what they are.” “Good grief. The absolute gutter. Sorry you were exposed to that,” commented another. “Very sad and disappointing to read this. Your amazing work is what should and what does shine through,” noted another.
