Princess Diana always disliked Prince William’s grandmother

• Hussey was the godmother of Prince William and the Queen’s lady-in-waiting.
• Her Majesty assigned Hussey to train Diana and then Meghan after they joined the royal family.
• Princess Diana had serious issues with Lady Susan Hussey.

Princess Diana had serious issues with Lady Susan Hussey, the godmother of Prince William and the Queen’s lady-in-waiting.

In her book, royal biographer Tina Brown described how Her Majesty assigned Hussey to train Diana, then Meghan Markle after they joined the royal family.

She writes: The Queen offered Meghan the ear of her most senior lady-in-waiting, Lady Susan Hussey as well as communications aide Sam Cohen to support the new Duchess’s learning curve”.

“The glaring but unspoken problem was that none of these experienced Palace hands were women of colour, says Tina.

“As for the lady-in-waiting the Queen had offered for support, what on earth did the eighty-year-old Lady Susan Hussey have of use for a thirty-eight-year-old biracial American actress trying to navigate the treacherous Palace system?

“She hailed from the Jurassic period of court etiquette, and had also been proffered for guidance to Diana (who couldn’t stand her).”
