A member of the Royal Family's household has left her role after making 'unacceptable and deeply regrettable' comments about race and nationality to a woman at a grand reception at Buckingham Palace, a spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Camilla, the Queen Consort, attends a reception to raise awareness of violence against women and girls as part of the UN 16 days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, in Buckingham Palace, Nov. 29, 2022.
"We take this incident extremely seriously and have investigated immediately to establish the full details. In this instance, unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments have been made," a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said in a statement. The allegation clearly stung the monarchy, which promised any such issues would be treated very seriously, and prompted Harry's older brother Prince William, heir to the throne, to remark days later: "We're very much not a racist family."Buckingham Palace said the individual concerned in the latest incident, referred to by Fulani as Lady SH, would like to apologize for the hurt caused and had stepped aside from her honorary role with immediate effect.
After being asked a number of times what part of Africa she was from, Fulani said she replied: "I am born here and am British."Last year, a senior royal source said Buckingham Palace had not done enough on diversity, although it has been endeavoring to boost the number of staff from ethnic minorities.
