Whatever happened to Ngozi Fulani? I am not going to do the "real name" thing. Fulani does seem to be her married name, and in any case who is any of us to tell someone else what her own name is? But she does seem to have been quite the one day wonder.
Petronella Wyatt may think that Lady Susan Hussey cannot be a racist because her late husband had only one leg, but Her Ladyship did give Fulani a story. And Fulani had gone looking for a story. She tagged along to Buckingham Palace on someone else's invitation, and she gained access to a Royal reception while mic'd up. It is no wonder that no one has wanted to talk either to or about her into a second day.
They will have to try harder next time, the people who cannot contain their rage at the seamless Succession, having spent more than half of the King's long life insisting that he was a massively unpopular figure, that his Accession would bring down the monarchy, and that Camilla as Queen would provoke riots in the streets.
On what do they disagree with him? His views are typical of graduate Baby Boomers. At least half of the young probably assume that the Queen is the mother of the King's sons. And while their real mother had grown up on an estate, she had not done so in a council house.
What would be your African name?
ReplyDeleteI was born in Saint Helena, so David Lindsay.
DeleteDo you think when Mrs Hussey mentioned France to Ngozi Fulani she thought that she might have recently arrived from that Country by rubber dinghy? Is it not considered rude to ask someone a question repeatedly when they have already given you an answer?
ReplyDeleteI guess the reason Mrs Hussey has lasted almost 60 years in royal service is her worldview isn’t much different from those she served.
The persistence was rude, yes. Fulani was wrong to go looking for a story, wearing a mic. Hussey was wrong to give her one.
