A member of the British royal family household has stepped down from her post after making a racist comment to a woman at the palace reception.
The royal aide was said to have repeatedly made “unacceptable and deeply regrettable” about race and nationality to Ngozi Fulani at Buckingham Palace.
Fulani was born in Britain and works for a domestic abuse support group, posted on Twitter that the royal aide had repeatedly questioned her on what part of Africa she was from.
This happened during an event hosted by King Charles’s wife, Camilla, the Queen Consort on Tuesday.
