The Queen’s former lady-in-waiting accused of racism is a devout member of a church with a ’90 per cent black congregation’.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Lady Susan Hussey has long attended St Agnes Church in Kennington, an ethnically diverse area of south London.
Lady Susan, 83, resigned as one of the Ladies of the House at Buckingham Palace after being accused of ‘interrogating’ Ngozi Fulani, from domestic abuse charity Sistah Space, about her inheritance at a function on Tuesday.

Now the St. Agnes congregation has joined Lady Susan in rejecting the charge that she is guilty of racial prejudice.
John Vaughan, a regular worshipper, told the MoS: ‘Susan doesn’t have a racist bone in her body. She absolutely would insist on that.
“All the members of the congregation, of all ethnic backgrounds, get along very well with her. Watching her have coffee with people after her services, you see her for who she really is: a nice, gentle and friendly woman.’
Vaughan said the speed with which the Palace had “abandoned” Lady Susan after her controversial conversation with Ms Fulani was “very worrying”. “Susan had a lifelong friendship with Queen Elizabeth,” she added.
“Then all of a sudden, after a conversation that was obviously a misunderstanding, she’s been unceremoniously dumped.”

A black worshiper at St Agnes, who declined to be named, said yesterday: “She is not a racist person, by no means.” She is a lovely, beautiful lady, and everyone in that church will say the same. Another source close to the church described the congregation as “90 per cent black” and insisted that Lady Susan was “not racist”.
The revelations come as the former bridesmaid’s friends suggested that deafness may have played a role in the fateful exchange. “Like many people her age, Lady Susan is hard of hearing,” one told the Daily Mail. “It is likely that her deafness contributed to the problems she had that day.”
It was previously reported that Lady Susan, the widow of former BBC president Marmaduke Hussey, has offered to meet Ms Fulani in person and apologize to her.
