Ngozi Fulani should now apologise to royals, according to experts

NGOZI Fulani should apologise to the Royal Family and not the other way around, according to royal observers.

They were commenting after Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying that Lady Susan Hussey had met with Ms Fulani and apologised for her behaviour.

Former Home Office minister Ann Widdicombe said: “The apology should have been the other way around.

“She accepted an invitation to a social event, she then embarrassed the host and hostess, she caused a very long serving member of the royal staff to retire.

“She should have apologised or at the very least there should have been an exchange of apologies.

“I also think the royal household have been a bit wimpish about this and they may live to regret that because Harry and Megan will make hay with this.”

She told Patrick Christys on GB News Live, she said: “It’s a grovel, that’s what it is. It’s a pathetic grovel.

“The only people this is going to please are going to be the moaners of Montecito. They are absolutely going to exploit this to the nth degree.

“They’re going to say ‘look, we’re telling the truth, look the Royal Family themselves have apologised. It should be the other way around.”

Former Sun royal correspondent Charles Rae said: “I find this amazing, this apology. There wasn’t much warmth and understanding when they sacked her…this smacks of being some sort of firefighting exercise to try and dampen the flames of this particular aspect of the race row that’s engulfing the Royal Family.

“Meghan and Harry, there’ll be dancing around the rooms in Montecito because this will give them their ammunition to show that there is a race problem in the Palace.”

He added: “Isn’t it remarkable that this meeting has been arranged for less than 24 hours after the Harry and Meghan documentary The second part of the documentary series has been aired. It just looks like they’re trying to take the sting out of one part of this…

“The Palace is starting to get very worried about these allegations because you can make all these allegations and say things are racial and everything else with very, very little evidence, if any.”
