Buckingham Palace has contacted the founder of the black charity who said she was asked about her ethnicity by one of the late Queen's close friends, it has been learned.

Lady Susan Hussey, 83, resigned as an honorary member of the royal household yesterday after Ngozi Fulani said she was repeatedly asked where she 'really came from' when receiving Queen Consort Camilla on violence against women.

Ms Fulani, who runs a domestic violence organization for black women, said she was asked: 'What part of Africa are you from?'

In a statement shortly after, Buckingham Palace said it contacted Fulani and “invited her to discuss all elements of her experience in person if she wishes.”

But the charity operator earlier insisted that was not the case, telling ITV's Good Morning Britain: "I don't know where this came from, but I tell you emphatically that we haven't heard from the Palace."
