She told the programme: ‘Then you realise, this is not about age. She seems to be quite capable of conducting herself. This is what it is, this is what you call racism. I’m there for two hours feeling like I need to leave, I want to leave, but not knowing what to do. ‘People keep saying the palace has reached out to me. They haven’t reached out to me. I’m telling you categorically, we have not heard.‘We’re about positive results. We’re happy to have that conversation. This is about violence against women and girls. I didn’t experience physical violence, I feel I experienced a form of abuse.She added: ‘It was like an interrogation. That’s the only way I can explain it.
Ms Fulani, chief executive of Sistah Space, had been invited to the Buckingham Palace event that focused on preventing violence against women.Lady Hussey, who has resigned, was a key figure in the Royal Household for many years.
