• Prince William's godmother quits palace over comments to black charity boss

Lady Susan Hussey has been a pivotal figure in the royal family for decades, serving as one of Queen's Elizabeth II's lady-in-waiting for more than 60 years.

She was the late monarch's longest-serving lady-in-waiting with the title Woman of the Bedchamber and is also a godmother to the Prince of Wales, but on Wednesday stepped down from her palace role and apologised after a black charity founder at a reception was left feeling traumatised after Hussey questioned her repeatedly about where she really came from".
