Kensington Palace today backed Prince William's godmother's decision to step down from the royal household after she was accused of racism at a Buckingham Palace reception set up by Queen Consort Camilla.
Lady Susan Hussey quit after she allegedly refused to believe a black domestic abuse campaigner was British and asked her: 'What part of Africa are you from?'
A spokesman for the Prince of Wales said it was ‘really disappointing’ to hear about the experiences of a guest at Buckingham Palace, adding: ‘Racism has no place in our society, these comments were unacceptable and it’s right that the individual concerned has stepped down’.

The resignation is humiliating for Camilla and a disaster for Lady Hussey's godson Prince William, who lands in the US today with the Princess of Wales for a three-day tour now at risk of being overshadowed by the race row.
Ngozi Fulani, director of the east London charity Sistah Space, said she was so shocked by the incident at Buckingham Palace yesterday that she 'couldn't report it to the Queen Consort' who had thrown the reception.
She told the Mirror: 'It was prolonged racism. It was like an interrogation. This wasn't just a few seconds, it was concerted over several minutes. It felt, as three black women, that we were trespassers, that we were not welcome or accepted as British'.

She added that she although she felt 'very unwelcome' and 'attacked' she did not want Hussey to lose her job.
Mandu Reid, of the Women's Equality Party, who was part of the conversation between Lady Hussey and Ms Fulani, said she felt as if her colleague was being 'interrogated'.
Charity founder at centre of Palace race row previously said 'Meghan is a survivor of domestic violence from her in-laws' and said she admired Duchess for 'speaking out'
The charity founder at the centre of the latest palace race row is a campaigner who has previously accused the Royal Family of 'domestic violence' against Meghan Markle.Ngozi Fulani, director of the east London charity Sistah Space, was asked by Queen Consort Camilla's aide Lady Susan Hussey 'what part of Africa are you from?' - despite having been born and raised in Britain.
Buckingham Palace said the comments were 'unacceptable and deeply regrettable', while Lady Susan has apologised and stepped down from her honorary post.
Ms Fulani, whose charity works with women with African and Caribbean heritage who have suffered violence at home, has previously accused the Royal Family of 'domestic violence' against Meghan Markle.
She made the claim in March 2021, just after Piers Morgan resigned from Good Morning Britain after saying he did not believe Meghan's claims about her requests for mental health treatment being refused by palace officials.
Ms Fulani tweeted: 'Our charity supports black women DV survivors. I can't stay silent about this. I admire Meghan for speaking out. According to clear definition, it seems Meghan is a survivor of DV from her in-laws. Ps, I'm glad hypocrite Piers left ITV.'
The campaigner, who has a BA in African Studies at SOAS, University of London, has also worked as a specialist advocate for domestic violence victims.
In an interview with the Guardian in 2020, she suggested black women were not reporting their abusers because they were worried about them being killed by police.
'Women want the abuse to stop but we know what happens to black men in police custody,' she said. 'These women do not want to risk their abusers being hurt or murdered.'
In an online profile, Ms Fulani described how she grew up in Kilburn, north London, as one of seven children as the 'only black family on our road'.
Her mother worked for London Transport before training as a nurse, while her father was a railway worker before providing sound systems to parties in the evening.
Describing the racism they experienced, Ms Fulani said: 'Our lives were about him moving around, moving around playing music at house parties, because we were not allowed in main venues.
'Black people were not allowed. No dogs, No Blacks, No Irish. We had to cram people in rooms at house parties, and we were very aware from the get-go that even though we were born here, we were not welcome.'
She also described the discrimination black people faced in wider society, including being called 'w***' and facing violence at the hands of the police.
'Police beating black people was a national sport,' she wrote. 'Police will not talk about this. I don't know anyone over the age of fifty who has siblings or parents who hasn't experienced police brutality.
'Groups of police would go out and beat black people to hell. My brothers came home from school with their faces swollen. People here held contempt for us, and they still do.'
Ms Fulani said her 'life changed' when she joined an African dance group as a teenager.
'To hear Africans with strong accents, learn about the food and the drumming touched my heart and took me to a place I had never been,' she wrote.
'It was everything for me and I had never felt so free as when I was listening to those drums. It was all so beautiful, the clothes, the beads, the cowrie shells, and the stories.'
Concluding the piece, she added: 'Nothing has changed. It's just different. The racism is just as intense, the hate is still there. I keep my truth.'
Buckingham Palace said: '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. We have reached out to Ngozi Fulani on this matter, and are inviting her to discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes.
'In the meantime, the individual concerned would like to express her profound apologies for the hurt caused and has stepped aside from her honorary role with immediate effect.
'All members of the Household are being reminded of the diversity and inclusivity policies which they are required to uphold at all times.'
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, she said she thinks the Royal Household 'needs to be given cultural competence training.'
She said: 'None of us could believe what was being said and I can tell you it was Lady Susan Hussey as she had a name badge on.
'It felt as if Ngozi was being interrogated and that at any point all three of us, there was another black woman called Daisy there, would be asked for our IDs.
'Lady Susan persisted in her tone of questioning just as Ngozi described and she just kept asking 'where are you from ?' and 'where are your people from ?'
'She made us feel as if we were trespassers as what should have been a very joyful event to which we had been invited to and to celebrate the work we have done.
'I can tell you that I'm certain there is no way she would have asked those sort of questions and taken that line of questioning if Ngozi was a white woman.'
The Palace said it took the incident extremely seriously' and had investigated immediately. Staff have been 'reminded of the diversity and inclusivity policies which they are required to uphold at all times', a spokesman said.
Referring to the aide as Lady SH, Ms Fulani had said being asked by a member of the royal household where she 'really came from' at Camilla's key engagement on violence against women on Tuesday will 'never leave me'.
Lady Husseywas outed in a series of tweets that will be acutely embarrassing for the Royal Family, who were accused of racism by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after Megxit.
She was the Queen's most senior Lady in Waiting and nicknamed Her Majesty's 'Number One Head Girl' by royal staff.
As a new race row engulfed the royals, Buckingham Palace said it took the incident, at the Queen Consort's reception on violence against women on Tuesday, 'extremely seriously' and had investigated immediately.

Also in the room was Ms Fulani, who said on Twitter today that she had been 'insulted' by a palace aide who she accused of asking 'where she was really from' when she said she was from Hackney.
The royal aide then allegedly said: 'No but where do you really come from? Where do your people come from? When did you first come here?'
Ms Fulani claims she then said: 'Lady! I am a British national, my parents came here in the 50s', to which the woman replied: 'I knew we'd get there in the end. You're Caribbean'. Ms Fulani replied: 'No lady, I am of African heritage, Caribbean descent and British nationality'.
The Sistah Space founder said this morning: 'Mixed feelings about yesterday's visit to Buckingham Palace. 10 mins after arriving, a member of staff approached me, moved my hair to see my name badge. The rest of the event is a blur'.
She said: 'It was such a shock to me and the other two women that we were stunned to temporary silence. I just stood at the edge of the room, smiled and engaged briefly with who spoke to me until I could leave.
'Standing there in a room packed with people while this violation was taking place was so strange, especially as the event was about violence against women'.
She added: 'My children and grandchildren were proud though, in my parent's time, black people were only allowed in to those spaces to serve. Kind of glad my folks were not around to witness this violation.
'I let my guard down. Never again. It was such a struggle to stay in a space that you were violated in.
'I think it is essential to acknowledge that trauma has occurred and being invited and then insulted has caused much damage'.
MailOnline has asked Buckingham Palace to comment.
She thanked Mandu Reid, leader of the Women's Equality Party, and Safe Lives chief executive Suzanne Jacob for their support on the day.
Ms Reid, the first person of colour to lead a national political party in British history, tweeted that she had also heard the exchange.
'I was right there. I witnessed this first hand,' she said. 'We were at an event that was supposed to celebrate our work. For people like ... people like us will never really belong here'.
Meghan and Harry's favoured journalist Omid Scobie was quick to pick up on the claims about racism at the Palace, tweeting: 'Yesterday's event should have been a moment to uplift and support. The fact that Fulani—a prominent figure providing the only safe space in Britain for Black survivors of domestic violence—was made to feel this way by a senior Palace aide is unforgivable'.

Tienen décadas "trabajando" con esa señora y ¿apenas se dan cuenta que es racista? ¿En serio? La despidieron porque el incidente se hizo viral, pero si no hubiera sido así, ella seguiría tan campante en su puesto.
Imagínate si no va a ser "respondona" si le pones al lado a semejante vieja racista!... ya me imagino los comentarios que se habrá tenido que tragar Meghan sobre su raza y "su gente"....
Exacto!!!!.... hay testigos de la conversación que corroboran que fue tal cual y la misma afectada lo ha contado en su twitter, por eso han tenido que separarla del resto, sino ahí estaría como si nada....
