For those eager to tear down Ngozi F, does it matter at all whether she was a worthy guest or an unworthy guest? How would this absolve the bad behavior in that exchange? You have to be prepared to say, in effect, "She had it coming!" to justify the ill manners on display. Who was ill-mannered in the exchange is not in doubt.

I thought so but I wasn’t sure. Thanks for clarifying.
I’m not in the “know” about these things but is it possible that Lady Hussey was taking (perhaps?) her last chance at calling someone out and shedding light on, who had accused her beloved Queen & Friend of Domestic Violence against Meghan Markle ?
I don’t know. Could she have perhaps seen it as her final act of loyalty to Her Majesty ? Don’t you think she was about to retire soon anyway ?
Possibly - yes - but I think we just do not know.
I think that she may have had no idea who N.F. aka Marlene Headly is.
She may just have had a genuine interest in where this person in such a strikingly African costume was from.
And fell into a trap.
Please don’t interpret my comment to mean she has no positive qualities- I’m sure she does but the pertinent fact is that any other woman with those same qualities from a working or middle class background would have no chance of applying for or securing this position with this sphere of influence so to me her background is the most significant factor in this role.
I am no insider in those circles - but I think that is no job for which you apply. Methinks it is rather this way: The Queen was looking for persons whom she can trust. - But again - I am not an insider. And I am not informed about all the details. But I have a feeling that here we are talking about a good and honest person.
I hope Ms. Fulani can take legal action toward these people (or entities) terrorizing her organization.
I think that’s unlikely firstly as
. I mean tbh it’s deeply weird that she would be invited to this party in the first place if the royals felt that badly about her previous DV comments.
Secondly, as the transcript we have makes no reference to any of those things and I feel like something that specific would be mentioned. Also it would be easy to frame that to make S look vindictive so it’d definitely be worth including if I were F and I was trying to puff up the encounter.
Also why not publicly confront this person about the issue in front of witnesses and then people would know what you are angry about rather than just asking a few passive aggressive questions?
Related note- I’ve just realised that there is a rather sensational irony that for all Fulani was talking up Markle being domestically abused by her in-laws while in the U.K. old Meg herself wouldn’t be able to actually get help from NF’s charity even if she needed it as she’s so famously biracial…you can’t make this up.
Interesting there seems to be more concern for the one (or presumed) biracial woman that was not helped by Ms. Fulani's charity as opposed to multiple African and Caribbean black women survivors currently in need and disproportionately affected by domestic violence but can't be helped due to the organization shutting down.
This young man says Fulani "changed her name to get a member of the royal family sacked" which seems a bit far fetched?
In addition he goes on to share "I've heard a story I'm not sure how true this is..."
So I'm afraid I need to take everything he says with a very large grain of salt!
After the Hussey-Fulani interaction, I read a commentary about both women being victims. I don't recall who wrote it or the details, but the author was probably right. This was a sad event, and I sincerely hope both women are OK.
On top of that, there’s no proof anywhere of biracial women being turned away by the charity on a regular basis yet it’s been said in this thread as fact.
Also there’s no irony at all in this woman supporting Meghan while her charity (as claimed in this thread) wouldn’t have helped her. Those two issues have nothing to do with each other. This thread is hilariously transparent.
No you are the one who is transparent given you have to go for making allegations about posters the moment you see a point you don’t agree with but can’t counter.
I think people have picked their sides in this and there is not really any room for a viewpoint that sees nuance on both sides in this story.
I have no interest in supporting Susan and the royals but I also think Ngozi’s behaviour in claiming what happened was abuse (while touring the media circuit) which is disproportionate to what happened by her own account.
Also now she’s suspended the charity which is clear emotional blackmail to silence her critics. It is embarrassing that not one journalist has asked her why her getting attacked on Twitter constitutes a real threat to anonymous women using the service, why the service can’t run with her in a leave of absence if her fame is the threat to safety and how social media trolls are a greater threat to a woman’s safety than a partner who has assaulted her. Add to this that despite it only taking a minute to take a screenshot we’ve not seen any evidence of this flurry of online abuse.
Hate to further misuse the term irony but it’s also ironic to dismiss the claims of people on the internet that they were turned away when this whole furor started from what one person claimed happened on Twitter.
I think both of them will be ok because they will be getting paid handsomely one way or another. We are probably the real schmucks for taking all this seriously.
