Lawyer Nazir Afzal says royal aide who resigned also asked him about his 'heritage'

Leading lawyer and former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal says royal aide Lady Susan Hussey, who resigned after a racism row, also asked him about his 'heritage' at Buckingham Palace.

Meanwhile, the black domestic abuse campaigner who was asked where she 'really came from' at a royal reception has described what she experienced as a 'form of abuse'. Ngozi Fulani, founder of the charity Sistah Space, expressed her shock at her treatment by the late Queen's lady in waiting, Lady Susan, but said she has yet to be contacted by Buckingham Palace to discuss the incident.

Lady Susan, the Prince of Wales's 83-year-old godmother, resigned from the royal household and apologised after she repeatedly challenged Ms Fulani when she said she was British at the Queen Consort's reception highlighting violence against women and girls.
