Royal resignation as black woman is asked where 'she's really from' at Buckingham Palace
A prominent black advocate for survivors of domestic abuse has revealed that she was repeatedly asked by a member of the Buckingham Palace household where she “really came from” while attending the Queen Consort's reception.
Buckingham Palace has since announced that a member of the household has resigned and apologised for these “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments." “All members of the Household are being reminded of the diversity and inclusivity policies which they are required to uphold at all times.” Ms Fulani, who founded Sistah Space in 2015 to provide specialist support for African and Caribbean heritage women affected by abuse, wrote: “Mixed feelings about yesterday’s visit to Buckingham Palace.
Responding to messages of support, Ms Fulani continued: “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.
