While speaking with Tom Bradby for ITV on January 8, Prince Harry addressed the controversial comments made by Lady Susan Hussey to Ngozi Fulani. Harry said that he was glad that Fulani received an apology. He also admitted that he and wife, Meghan Markle, were very fond of Hussey. “Meghan and I love Lady Susan Hussey, we think she’s great,” Harry said. “She never meant any harm at all, but the response from the British press and from people online (because of the stories they wrote) was horrendous, absolutely horrendous.”
Many on Twitter were disappointed with Harry’s response. “Harry has some way to go to fully understand racism, discrimination and their impact, particularly towards Black women, which is above and beyond his wife,” one person tweeted. “If you are only in the fight for your wife, you are not in it at all.” Someone else asked, “Is Harry ok?” Another person didn’t like Harry’s focus of attacking the media. “Bulls**t. I’ve read the transcript of what [Hussey] said to Fulani — it was a barrage of racist innuendo,” another tweeted. “To turn this into more media bashing shows he doesn’t really care about many of the causes he tries to promote.” So many felt Harry’s response wasn’t encompassing enough and wanted to hear more from him on the topic of racism within the palace.
