Buckingham Palace says a member of the household has resigned after making 'unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments' to a Black guest.
Kin Cheung / Zuma PressBuckingham Palace said Wednesday that a member of the household has resigned after making"unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments" to a Black guest.
She said the person came up to her 10 minutes after she arrived and"moved my hair to see my name badge." The statement did not identify the insider, but said the palace had"reached out to Ngozi Fulani on this matter, and are inviting her to discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes."
"It is the system that needs to be revised," the organization said."Yes the person was offensive, but it serves no purpose to name and shame her, it would make us just as bad. We prefer that this be handled kindly."
