Queen Camilla and first ladies of different countries

The resignation will be viewed as a humiliation for Camilla and will cast a shadow over a trip by Lady Hussey’s godson Prince William, who lands in the US today with the Princess of Wales for a three-day tour. Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “‘We take this incident extremely seriously and have investigated immediately to establish the full details. “In this instance, unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments have been made. We have reached out to Ngozi Fulani on this matter, and are inviting her to discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes. “In the meantime, the individual concerned would like to express her profound apologies for the hurt caused and has stepped aside from her honorary role with immediate effect.
