Buckingham Palace said that a staff member had resigned after making “unacceptable” comments at a palace event.
The palace said that “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments have been made” and that the staff member “would like to express her profound apologies for the hurt caused” and had resigned from her honorary role, the BBC initially reported.
Ngozi Fulani is the founder of Sistah Space, a charity that supports African and Caribbean women affected by domestic violence. The palace’s statement was made in response to a Twitter post by Fulani, where she detailed an encounter with a member of the royal household on Tuesday.
Fulani tweeted that she was asked by a palace staff member where she “really came from” after saying she was born in the UK during an event hosted by the Queen Consort on Tuesday.
