Harry Defends Lady Susan Hussey Amidst Accusations of Racism

In a recent controversy, Lady Susan Hussey, a close friend of the late Queen and former lady-in-waiting, found herself at the center of an accusation of making a racist comment towards a charity worker.

The incident occurred during an event held at Buckingham Palace, where Lady Susan engaged in a conversation with Ngozi Fulani, the founder of sister space.

Despite Ms. Fulani clarifying that she was born in the UK and worked in London, Lady Susan asked about her African origins, leaving Ms. Fulani feeling interrogated and uncomfortable.

Coming to Lady Susan's defense is Prince Harry, who has previously spoken out about his wife Meghan Markle facing racism.

In an interview with ITV's Tom Bradby, Harry expressed his support for Lady Susan and his desire for Ms. Fulani to be invited to the palace to reconcile.

He emphasized his and Meghan's admiration for Lady Susan, stating that they believe she is a remarkable individual.

Reflecting on Lady Susan's comment, Harry explained that he understood her intentions and firmly believed that she did not mean any harm.

However, he expressed his dismay at the negative response from the British press and online community, attributing it to the stories that were written about the incident.

Questions have arisen regarding the consistency of Harry and Meghan's narrative.

Some argue that their plan has backfired, as they did not anticipate the revelations about Ms. Fulani's questionable past.

Critics suggest that they are now attempting to backtrack on their previous statements.

It is worth noting that Lady Susan Hussey had once predicted that Harry and Meghan's marriage would end in tears, leading some to question Meghan's endorsement of Lady Susan.

Defending Lady Susan's character, many highlight her selfless service to the British royal family spanning over six decades.

Rita Panahi, a reporter for Sky News Australia, argues that it was unfair to label an 83-year-old woman as racist based on a harmless question she asked.

While acknowledging that touching Ms. Fulani's hair was inappropriate, Panahi suggests that Ms. Fulani may have been seeking confrontation and speculates that her original target may have been Queen Camilla, but she settled for any member of the household.

There are even theories that the transcript of the conversation was fabricated, possibly by Dr. Schouler.

However, these claims remain unverified.

Adding to the complexity of the situation, Ngozi Fulani, also known as Marlene Hedley, temporarily closed down her charity sister space due to feeling unsafe.

It has come to light through various television interviews that she is a member of the Sussex squad and has connections to Misan Harriman, a long-time friend of Harry and Meghan.

Furthermore, Ms. Fulani has been vocal about her anti-monarchist beliefs and has accused the royal family of racism on multiple occasions.

Her most controversial claim was that not including Meghan and Harry on the balcony during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations was an act of racism.

As a result of these revelations, people, particularly individuals of color, have criticized Ms. Fulani for her actions.

One individual named Elizabeth took to Twitter to express her negative experience with Ms. Fulani.

Elizabeth claimed that she was mistreated and left feeling worse off by Ms. Fulani, who allegedly refused to help her during a domestic violence situation, citing Elizabeth's privilege as the reason.

Elizabeth has since reported sister space to the charity commission.

It is speculated that Meghan and Harry's accusations against the royal family planted the seed for such incidents, with their supporters rallying behind their narrative.

The response to the clash between Ngozi and Lady Susan can be seen as a consequence of the legacy they have created.

In conclusion, Prince Harry has stepped forward to defend Lady Susan Hussey against accusations of racism.

While acknowledging the discomfort caused by Lady Susan's question, Harry emphasizes her good intentions and condemns the negative response from the media and online platforms.
