The late Queen's lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey has apologised and resigned after she repeatedly asked a black British charity boss where she was really from.

Ngozi Fulani, a charity founder, was questioned about her background at the charity event at the palace on Tuesday.

Ms Fulani, said she was "totally stunned" by Prince William's godmother's comments.

The leader of the Women's Equality Party said she had felt a "sense of incredulity" about the exchange in which Ms Fulani was interrogated about where she was from, even though she had already explained she was born and lived in the UK.

In its statement, Buckingham Palace said: "We take this incident extremely seriously and have investigated immediately to establish the full details.

Ms Fulani was at the reception at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday representing the London-based charity Sistah Space, which supports women of African and Caribbean heritage across the UK who have faced domestic and sexual abuse.

In the post, Ms Fulani referred to the palace aide only as "Lady SH".

But Ms Reid confirmed to BBC News the person who had made the remarks was Lady Susan Hussey, having seen her name badge.

Neither Buckingham Palace nor the charity named her.
