The lady-in-waiting to the late monarch offered to meet the founder of the black charity whom she allegedly asked about her ethnicity, it has been reported.

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?'

Lady Susan later apologized for “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

She now wishes to meet Ms. Fulani in person and apologize directly to her.

Palace officials hope a discussion between the two would lead to “lessons learned in a spirit of cooperation.”

Ms Fulani had a "direct discussion" with the Palace and they are "determining how to move forward".

Chris Ship of ITV said: "On this question of whether Buckingham Palace has reached out to Ngozi Fulani, I hear that a direct discussion has now taken place between the two parties.
