As I am interested in all linguistic topics and in all the languages on earth, this makes me naturally curious about the language in question.
But I won't ask you that, of course. My own surname is quite short, but English people usually can only pronounce the first of the letters right.
Scottish people can get nearly everything right.
When I introduce myself to an English person, I usually mispronounce my own name, so that it can be understood and repeated.
That quote is not in that link, which is to the royal statement. Which was about them making peace on their own terms, appropriately.
Some questions:

The language in question is for you to wonder and for me to know! As you are of enquiring mind, serendipity might be your reward. (therein lies the clue). What complicated lives we lead with our surnames!As I am interested in all linguistic topics and in all the languages on earth, this makes me naturally curious about the language in question.

What’s to question? Ms. Hussey has apologized for distressing Ms. Fulani.
It’s odd that the Twitterverse is continuing to argue this point after she’s apologized. I guess they know the situation better than she does

When I am asked my name by somebody who wants to write it down, I usually spell it letter for letter, so that it does not get mis-spelled. But I do not mind, as there are only 5 letters. And when it comes to the ö, is usually say: "First write an o, then put two dots on it" - to be on the safe side. Or I might say: Like the e in Noël, but with the dots on the o.

I especially appreciated this part of the statement, it would be lovely if people would respect the wishes of the palace...
Ms Fulani, who has unfairly received the most appalling torrent of abuse on social media and elsewhere, has accepted this apology and appreciates that no malice was intended.
Both Ms Fulani and Lady Susan ask now that they be left in peace to rebuild their lives in the wake of an immensely distressing period for them both.
They hope that their example shows a path to resolution can be found with kindness, co-operation and the condemnation of discrimination wherever it takes root.

What about a wording like this:
"Lady Susan Hussey, who has unfairly received the most appalling torrent of abuse on social media and elsewhere ...."
etc etc etc .....
And:
If Lady Susan Hussey = racist, then 2 + 2 = 6e36r67fgzrufg82r720hfdhewjhdj632jfkvirzqtd5w6errb and more.
Why did Buckingham Palace not have the courage to defend Lady Susan Hussey against unfair accusations?
Uhhhhh because clearly Buckingham Palace didn’t think the accusations were unfair?
It truly feels disrespectful to Ms. Hussey to keep insisting that she doesn’t know what she’s doing or how shes chosen to handle this is incorrect.
Almost like it’s not about Ms. Hussey at all…
