A Queen’s Aide Refuses to Believe a Black Woman is British

It should come as no surprise that the Royal Family is a deeply racist institution.

The leader of the British charity Sistah Space was interrogated and harassed by Prince William’s godmother and aide to the queen Lady Susan Hussey during a visit to Buckingham Palace.

A description of the exchange reads like a cruel parody of a Britain that should be long dead.

Aide: Where are you from?

Ngozi Fulani: Sistah Space.

Aide: No, where do you come from?

Ngozi: We’re based in Hackney.

Aide: No, what part of Africa are you from?

Ngozi: I don’t know, they didn’t leave any records.

Aide: Well, you must know where you’re from. I spent time in France. Wher ar you from.

Ngozi: Here. Uk.

Aide: No, but what Nationality are you?

Ngozi: I am born here and am British.

Aide: No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from? Oh, I can see I’m going to have a challenge getting you to say where you’re from. When did you first come here?
