Royal Godmother apologises for racist comment

The Godmother to the Prince of Wales, Susan Hussey, has personally apologised to Ngozi Fulani after a racist incident at Buckingham Palace.

The Palace called Susan Hussey’s comments unacceptably and deeply regrettable.

No apology was due.... And making such apology only validates a false accusation.

[zeb]

She had nothing to apologize for in the first place.

[dawnpettet]

Oppologise for asking where someone came from, is racist ? I think not.

[jasperhorace]

That photo is a disgrace. Look at Foolani grinning like a Cheshire Cat and looking directly at the camera. I don’t know how Lady Susan could bear to be in the same room as that troublemaker. Shame on the Royal family for not supporting Lady Susan.

[Design_no]

It was a setup. Shame Charles for not standing up for her.

[rileymorgan]

This lady made no racist remarks. To issue an apology to pease the royal family. Is demeaning. King Charles is showing to be a weak minded king. People is losing respect for him.

[rschon]

Alleged racist comment is more accurate!!!

[loveluongo]

When you dress like a cast member from Coming to America, is it all that surprising you might be asked where you come from? It's showing an interest in her. But everything's racist these days isn't it?

[TheRealBobSmith.]

What was racist about the question? Asking someone where they are from is not racist. Not at all.

[KLG]

When did asking nationality being racist, better not ask anyone where they are from based on their accent. Everything has gone too far

[dee]

What this teaches is when someone is dressed in a costume and begging for attention, ignore them. You certainly don’t want to ask about it

[gisellasturino]

The royal family have behaved appallingly. Ngozi is a liar. Unbelievable.

[richardlafleur]

What racist comment? Shit's getting out of hand.

[Oshosgg]

the question wasn't racist at all

[breadnewbie]

not smart. she shouldn't apologize.

[jasonayres]

Ngozi did want to make a big story out of it.
Otherwise, it might have been passed off as "crossed wires", or something similar.

People are now afraid to speak with black people. They're giving up. This black woman didn't seem to try at all with the elderly Susan. If someone attempts to converse with you, help them.

[colinweir]

Lady Susan Hussey was thrown under a bus. 60 years of service and being known by the family vs someone attending a 5 minute party. Puts the rest of palace staff on notice.

[unvaccinatedAndPureBlood]

Saying, 'Where are you from' is racist now.

[marilynknox]

That women should apologize to Lady Susan she is the trouble here
