King Charles: Still no apology to Ngozi Fulani after racism scandal?
In November 2022, a racism scandal at the British court made the headlines. The former lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey, 83, had racially insulted the founder of the British charity “Sistah Space” with obtrusive questions about her origin, which the affected person shared shortly afterwards with her community on her charity’s Instagram channel. It took a while for Queen Elizabeth’s former servant, †96, to meet Ngozi Fulani, 62. It was then officially communicated that Prince William’s godmother, 40, apologized to the charity boss. The palace had condemned the unspeakable incident in advance and apologized in the message, but the Fulani is not enough.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we deeply regret the incident and apologize for the trouble and difficulties it has caused Ms. Fulani,” the British court said in a statement. “Who are you apologizing to? If you’re sorry, tell me you’re sorry. If not, it speaks for itself,” Fulani said when asked about it on “Good Morning Britain,” and continued: “The apology has gone public. It has not come to me. When I first appeared on your show, you asked if I had received an apology. The answer was no. The answer is still no. It seems like apologizing to the public.” When asked if she would accept an apology, she replied, “If you have to ask someone for an apology, that’s not an apology.” It seems that King Charles, 74, still has a little catching up to do in terms of crisis management and sympathy.

Queen Camilla: Her break with tradition will cause irritation
King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, bring a breath of fresh air to the British monarchy. However, Camilla’s break with royal traditions in particular could cause irritation, says royal house expert Kinsey Schofield. It is said that Buckingham Palace is considering dropping the title of “Consort” so that she will be crowned Queen Camilla. She is also said to have expressed the wish that her five grandchildren play a key role during the coronation ceremony.
“I can’t help but feel after reading ‘Spare’ [Prinz Harrys Memoiren, Anm. d.

Traditions and ceremonies that make the world the envy of us. If they deviate too far from these customs, they anger and disappoint a significant number of people, who feel that these acts destroy mysticism.”
