A member of the Buckingham Palace household has resigned and apologised after she made “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments”. She asked a prominent black advocate for survivors of domestic abuse where she “really came from”.
The incident happened at the Queen Consort’s reception on violence against women on Tuesday. Buckingham Palace said it took the incident “extremely seriously” and had investigated immediately.
Ngozi Fulani, chief executive of Sistah Space, detailed the conversation on Twitter. She described it as a “violation” and said the experience will “never leave me”.
