The Duke of Sussex has defended the royal maid of honor, Lady Susan Hussey, who, during Queen Camilla's reception at Buckingham Palace in November, allowed herself to ask extremely uncomfortable questions of a black activist who was present at an event against domestic violence Ngozi Phu.

Lady Susan asked where Mrs. Ngozi was born, what nationality she was, where she actually came from, and so on.

During the debate about institutional bias and racism in the royal family, the prince was quick to defend Lady Susan, who was sacked after the incident in November.

The prince said: "I am very pleased that Ngozi Fulani has been invited to the palace to sit down with Lady Susan Hussey and make up because Meghan and I love Susan Hussey. She thinks she is wonderful. And I also know that she meant, she never meant any harm and meant no harm," Harry concluded.

"But the reaction from the British press and people on the internet because of the stories they wrote was terrible, it was just terrible," writes Hello!.

It will be recalled that in December Lady Susan Gassi and Ngozi Fulani met again at Buckingham Palace and during this meeting Susan apologized.

After that, there was still unconfirmed information that King Charles III plans to invite the ex-maid of honor of Queen Elizabeth II to his coronation in May 2023.
