A spokesman for the Prince and Princess of Wales has responded to the resignation of Lady Susan Hussey, who was accused of making "unacceptable" comments.

Insider reported that Hussey is a close friend of the royal family. She was a lady-in-waiting at Buckingham Palace from 1960 until her return on Wednesday. She helped plan official palace events.

According to reports, she asked a black guest where she came from at a palace event. The founder of the domestic violence charity Sistah Space wrote about an encounter with a staff member on the social media site.

The leader of the UK's Women's Equality Party said that the individual who made the comments was Hussey. The person has not been confirmed by the palace.

"This is a matter for Buckingham Palace, but as the Prince of Wales' spokesman I would like you to ask about it." "So let me address this head on, and I'll let you know when I get back," the spokesman for the palace said in a statement.

The guest's experience at Buckingham Palace was disappointing according to the spokesman.

Racist behavior has no place in our society. They said that the comments were unacceptable and that the individual stepped aside immediately.
