Unfortunately, I can’t get beyond the paywall (I stopped my digital sub to the Telegraph recently) but all the debate surrounding the matter has opened up quite a can of worms - ‘British’ values of fair play, etc. Perhaps Lady Susan might become the standard bearer, metaphorically, for those values. In contrast to Ms Fulani who might need to watch & learn.

Thanks for all the background on Lady Susan @Traminer - it is good to know of that level of unpaid ‘service’ to the Crown. A dying breed. Sadly, I think KC3 might not have the same appreciation of loyalty judging by some of the people he surrounds himself with, which perhaps explains the rush to judgment over Lady Susan. Being the loyal person she is, she did the decent thing, I guess, and fell on her sword. Was it not her who accompanied The Queen and Meghan on the first visit they did together (travelling by train). Sitting behind the Queen? Watching carefully!

The lady sitting behind the Queen is Dame Mary Morrison, I think.

OK, many thanks for that clarification - I’m seeing Lady Susan everywhere now! I shall look up Dame Mary in case she also trips up!

Some good questions:

I’m wondering why she even went to the Palace if she has such a low opinion of the royals. Ms Fulani has said she felt “violated” after Lady Susan’s repeated questions about where she was from. But is it not conceivable or understandable that Lady Hussey was confused by her outfit?

Ms Fulani has publicly stated she loves wearing her African attire. She has also talked about being her “full African self”. Moreover, she was invited to BP because she’s the founder of Sistah Space, an initiative which supports women of African and Caribbean heritage.

Is there really not a sliver of space here to give Lady Susan the benefit of the doubt? Because there should be. Didn’t it occur to her that Lady Susan’s job is to find out who people are and where they are from before they introduce them to the Queen – in this case Camilla.

I hear that Ms Ngozi is upset. But does she honestly see what Lady Susan did as “abuse”? It’s a very inflammatory word which suggests she thinks it was intentional and I don’t believe for a second it was.

Was Lady Susan Hussey's clumsy query really 'abuse'?

Did 83-year-old Lady Susan Hussey - a loyal lady-in-waiting to the Queen for 60 years - really have to be eviscerated and globally humiliated because she asked Ngozi Fulani where she was from during a Buckingham Palace reception about global domestic violence?

An article from September 2022:

Queen's lady-in-waiting pays her respects: Prince William's godmother Lady Susan Hussey, 81, joined the Royal Family at the Westminster Hall service - after more than 60 years spent by Her Majesty's side​

• Photos captured the Queen's lady-in-waiting paying her respects to the Queen
• Lady Susan Hussey, 81, has been by the Queen's side for more than six decades
• Was present at key events, including at several State Openings of Parliament
• The public will continue to pay their respects today inside Westminster Hall

and:

The Queen's long-serving lady-in-waiting was seen paying her respects to Queen Elizabeth II during the lying in state inside Westminster Hall.

Prince William's godmother Lady Susan Hussey, 81, was seen clad in black and wearing pearls - no doubt as a mark of respect for the late monarch, who was known to love them.

As the Queen's lady-in-waiting for more than six decades, she served at key moments in the Queen's life, such as the opening of State Parliaments.

She was beyond a member of staff - such was her closeness to the Royal Family, she was asked to be a godmother of Prince William, and also to accompany the Queen to the funeral of her late husband, Prince Philip in April 2021.

King Charles should not meet Ngozi Fulani

And:

An overly apologetic monarchy will not survive​

On the scaffold at the Banqueting House on 30th January 1649, Charles I is said to have expressed deep remorse for having signed the death warrant of his close ally Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford. He had done so eight years earlier, under great pressure from his enemies in Parliament, in the faint hope that it might mollify them and stabilise the deteriorating political situation. It did not work.

Now, nearly 374 years later, another King Charles has felt compelled to cut loose a courtier in the hope of blunting the assaults of his critics.

Or quiet - he may have not had much time to approve what his press office sent out but he hasn’t corrected it

That is to be hoped indeed!
That he did not Know better than to join the witch hunt against his old godmother was not really nice.

Question: Why does Charles want to meet Ngozi Fulani?
To apologize again and again?
I think it is rather Ngozi Fulani who should apologize.
