BREAKING: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said whenever we see racism ‘we must confront it’ in response to the race row engulfing Buckingham Palace.
Ms Fulani, whose charity offers specialist support for women of African and Caribbean heritage affected by abuse, described the conversation as a ‘violation’ and said the experience will ‘never leave me’.
Ms Fulani said a household member first ‘moved my hair to see my name badge’, then challenged her when she said her charity was based in Hackney, saying: ‘No, what part of Africa are YOU from?’ She detailed the full alleged conversation, which she said happened 10 minutes after she arrived, on Twitter, which included the exchange: ‘Where are you from?’
Although he distanced himself from criticising the palace, Mr Sunak said he has experienced racism and although the country has made ‘incredible progress in tackling racism’ he said the ‘job is never done’.Asked how he felt when he heard the story about the royal race row, and if those were sentiments he had experienced in his own life, the Prime Minister told broadcasters: ‘As I’ve talked about in the past, I have experienced racism in my life.
‘But what I am pleased to say is some of the things that I experienced when I was a kid and a young person I don’t think would happen today because our country has made incredible progress in tackling racism.Got a story? Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
