Twitter users were quick to support Ngozi Fulani and draw connections to claims Meghan Markle had made of racism in both Buckingham Palace and the British media, a substantial reason she and Prince Harry resigned from their royal duties, per Oprah Daily.
Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, lawyer and women's rights activist, wrote on Twitter: "Meghan Markle and Prince Harry told you of racism in Royal Family & household. But she was vilified, abused & violated for speaking the truth. Ngozi Fulani's experience with Lady Susan Hussey wasn't isolated, one off or a 'bad apple' at Buckingham Palace. You can't reform this."
Referring to statements Piers Morgan has made denying Markle's claims of racism in the palace, Twitter user Omar Baggilli wrote: "How odd @piersmorgan. A Buckingham Palace household member resigns over racist comments. I thought Meghan was a liar?" The Sussexes are soon to receive the Ripple of Hope Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Foundation for their courage in standing up to structural racism (and a furious Piers Morgan finds Meghan and Harry's latest honor "outrageous").
Fulani, in her interview with the Independent, said the incident is "bigger than one individual. It's institutional racism," per the BBC.
The statement, per Al Jazeera, which does not name Hussey outright, continues: "In the meantime, the individual concerned would like to express her profound apologies for the hurt caused and has stepped aside from her honourary role with immediate effect."
