Read our privacy policy Prince Harry has addressed the recent controversy that broke out after Lady Susan Hussey asked a Black British charity worker where she “really came from”. Ngozi Fulani, the founder of Sistah Space, found herself at the centre of a royal racism scandal over Lady Hussey’s comments, which were made during a Buckingham Palace reception in December last year. During an interview to promote his forthcoming memoir, Harry told ITV’s Tom Bradby he was “very happy” for Fulani to be invited to the palace for a reconciliatory meeting with Lady Hussey, “because Meghan and I love Susan Hussey”. Reacting to the Palace’s announcement that Lady Hussey had apologised Fulani at the time, a source close to the Sussexes reportedly said: “Nothing like that was ever done when Harry and Meghan raised various concerns — no meeting, formal apology or taking responsibility or accountability.” Last month, it was reported that the duke and duchess said they would like to meet the royal family and address their “issues”, in the aftermath of their Netflix documentary released last month.
