Camilla, Queen Consort’s lady-in-waiting has reportedly stepped down over ‘unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments’

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 reported.

The statement came after Ngozi Fulani, the head of a domestic violence charity, tweeted that she was asked by a palace staff member where she “really came from” at an event by the Queen Consort on Tuesday. 

Roya Nikkhah, the royal editor at The Sunday Times, said in a tweet on Wednesday that the palace confirmed to her that the staff member who resigned was Lady Susan Hussey.

Hussey was one of the new  “ladies of the household,” which Queen Consort Camilla recently announced as replacements to ladies-in-waiting.
