The Fulani Saga...
There appears to be a great deal of confusion and misinformation as to the meaning of the name “Fulani”…Fulani is a member of a pastoral and nomadic people of mixed African and Mediterranean ancestry, scattered through western Africa from Senegal to Cameroon.
This woman adopted the name because she used to run a dancing school and used it as her “stage name.” Her real name is Marlene Headley. A little bit of research would have revealed this, but I guess there are
definitely no researchers here.
She was actually born and raised in Kilburn a suburb of London, UK. Her parents came from Barbados. Her ancestors are from Africa. Should she discard her ancestry?? Why shouldn’t she wear her African clothes if she wishes? I’ve worn the sari on many occasions and I do not even resemble an Indian lady. I don’t look Chinese either and I sometimes wear a cheongsam. Furthermore, I am not African, but I love African prints and I wear them. So there!!
Lady Susan is a disappointment. Nothing to do with her age, but everything to do with the undercurrent of racism among the older members of the aristocracy.
Asking someone where they are from is not a problem and only becomes one when the person badgers you, even though, they have been told several times. Then to add insult to injury, she places her hand on the woman’s body, moved aside her hair, to get a look at her name tag. How very rude…I am astounded!!!
Fulani was not the only one she quizzed that day, she did the same to one of Britain’s top lawyers Nazir Afzal, Chancellor of the University of Manchester and ex-chief prosecutor of the CPS, about his heritage.
William and his father did the right thing by getting rid of her. Charles knows of the racism that exists among palace officials and some family members. I feel as King, he will be changing a lot of things.
Fulani did
not just rock up to Buckingham Palace…she was
invited by Charles, Camilla and William! So to say, she planted herself there is so pathetic. Happy to see Camilla is having talks with the woman to see how the situation can be improved.
Furthermore, there is no information
anywhere to suggest Misan Harriman, the photographer is related to Ngozi Fulani! For proof of this a credible link is required. I guarantee none will be found!
What amazes me, is the lack of research skills on this thread!!!
Nice to see though, Lady Susan invited Fulani to the Palace and apologised in person to Fulani who graciously accepted her apology…all’s well that ends well and I am pleased.
