Ms Fulani, pictured near Camilla at the event complained of being subjected to a series of uncomfortable questions by Lady Susan Hussey who later quit.A Buckingham Palace guest who was "interrogated" about her racial identity by Prince William's godmother has spoken about how she was stunned when she moved her dreadlocks.
And speaking to LBC on Wednesday, she revealed nobody at the Palace had spoken to her about the incident. "What she needed to do was to satisfy herself that I don’t qualify as British and I just thought wow." Speaking to LBC, Ms Fulani said: "Buckingham Palace puts out an invitation for 16 days of activism for violence against women. That kind of 'violence' you don’t expect at an event like this. I feel violated. I'm just as stunned as everybody else.
"To ask somebody a question [about their background] I've no problem with that. But that wasn't a question, that was an interrogation."We have to recognise when things are unacceptable. If you represent the Palace, you can't make those kind of mistakes.Ngozi Fulani pictured near the Queen Consort at the event at Buckingham Palace.Lady Susan, one of Queen Consort Camilla's closest aides and a close friend of the late Queen, quit today over the remarks.
