Ngozi Fulani was repeatedly asked by royal aide Lady Susan Hussey where she was 'really' from.
A black British charity boss repeatedly asked where she was "really" from by royal aide Lady Susan Hussey has told the BBC the encounter was an "abuse".
Ngozi Fulani was questioned about her background at a charity event at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. Lady Hussey has resigned since the incident.The Palace described the remarks as "unacceptable and deeply regrettable". Lady Hussey was a close confidante of the late Queen and accompanied her at the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh last year. She is also the Prince of Wales's godmother.
Ms Fulani, who founded domestic violence charity Sistah Space, rebuffed suggestions that Lady Hussey's remarks were linked to her age. "Let us be clear what this is. I've heard so many suggestions it's about her age and stuff like that, and I think that's kind of a disrespect - an ageism kind of thing," she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
