Queen's former lady in waiting apologises to British charity boss over heritage quiz

Lady Susan Hussey has apologised in person to Ngozi Fulani, after asking her where she was "really from" during a Buckingham Palace reception.

The pair met up on Friday (16 December) at the palace.

Lady Susan offered her "sincere apologies for the comments" and "the distress they caused" after asking which part of Africa Ms Fulani, a Black British charity boss, was from.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace described the reconciliation between the two women as "filled with warmth and understanding".

When you're freezing cold waiting for a bus to go to work, just remember Fulani's charity received some of your hard earned taxes, i.e. £52, 346 from 2 government contracts

Lady Hussey should have asked Ngozi Fulani what she "really" spends her charity donations on...

Why apologise she did nothing wrong.
Who make a 83 year old apologise.
When I was young I was taught to respect your elders.
Who is this nasty peace of work.

Call the "hussy" by her real name Malene Susan has been

Lady Susan showed dignity, Marlene on the other hand needs to learn respect, disgraceful woman ashamed of her heritage.

The comments are always spot on. Marlene doesn’t seem too popular…

In times of yore, kids in school were taught Judaeo Christian values. Established orthodoxies prevailed. In later life you could choose to accept, modify or reject these values.

Horrible. Marlene, the fake Fulani~ is the one who owes the apology.
The Fulani/Marlene came in looking for trouble as a PLUS ONE.
Not even her own invitation.
Dressed in some cosplay concept of African dress, a cockeyed tiara, a microphone and an attitude.
I’d ask where is she from. 🤷🏼‍♀️ please don’t bait an 83 year old woman.
Then runs to all media- social and otherwise.
She needs investigators come to check her non inclusive “charity” and tweets.
Set up

Sorry I couldn’t tell what part of Africa you were from 🤷‍♀️

That woman went to the garden party looking for trouble. She couldn't find a high up royal to prove a point with, so she targeted a Lady in Waiting. Absolutely Despicable!

LadyHussey has now't to apologize for.. 3hrs before Marlene turned up she changed her name!!!! GOOGLE it!!!!

[coasttocoastcaravanning]

Proud of Lady Hussey . This says so much about her . What a wonderful lady. The other hussy should feel totally ashamed

[goforit]

I don’t like when I am asked where l’m from.

Where is her crazy wig and clothing in this meeting?

[terryurquhart]

This world is going crazy ….. why did this lady apologise to the charity grazer

There is a lot more than meets the eye to why this was blown out of all proportion … opportunistic and with a hidden agenda …. Trying to get herself in the spotlight to make more money for nothing … there is nothing easier than sucking money out of a charity fund if you are the only one involved in it ……

[blueknight]

Good. Now everyone can draw a line and move on

[IAMSMITH]

Best outcome 👍🙏. Not look8ng for an investigation!

[Strugglin]

stop apologizing to these people.. all they do is cry
