The Royal Family’s embarrassing private conversation quickly became a public humiliation.

Buckingham Palace’s quick response shows how seriously it’s taken.

A black British charity chief resigned and apologized after a social media post reported she was asked where she was “truly” from.

Camilla, Queen Consort, invited 300 guests to Buckingham Palace to promote her domestic abuse crusade.

A witness said the incident began with a “chitchat” between Ngozi Fulani and Lady Susan Hussey.

Unwillingness to accept a black woman’s claim that she was from Britain caused the conversation to crash and burn.

Some thought she wasn’t “truly” from the UK.

Toxic because it raises doubts about the Royal Family’s ability to reflect modern Britain’s diversity.

It deals with identity and belonging. It portrays Buckingham Palace as unwelcoming.

Race, racism, inclusion, and diversity have become touchy themes for the royals, especially after Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, suggested discrimination within the Royal Family and Royal Household.

Poor timing.

Lady Susan Hussey is Prince William’s godmother. He’s in Boston, US, to present out an environmental prize as a modern, empathic figure.

His first overseas trip as Prince of Wales won’t be overshadowed by a race row. Prince William’s spokesman denied the remarks.

The family has been publicly promoting diversity and inclusivity.

The King wants to make Britain a “community of communities” that draws strength from diversity.

Recent Order of Merit appointments were largely ethnic minorities.

Camilla had eliminated Lady Hussey’s status as a lady-in-waiting, although she remained a lady of the household after the Queen’s death.

Prince Harry and Meghan’s documentary series will be broadcast on Netflix next week, and it will be closely watched for signs of prejudice in the Royal Family.

The unanswered question from Oprah Winfrey interview: anybody questioned the color of their unborn child?

The Sussexes will also receive a trophy next week for fighting prejudice.

Meghan hinted in a recent interview that she had more to say about royal life.

“Forgiveness is crucial. Not forgiving is tiring “The Cut.

“Forgiveness is hard. I’ve tried hard, knowing I can say anything.”

The tragedy this week adds urgency to the King’s modernization ambitions.
