The Prince and Princess of Wales are in the US for the first time in eight years to promote the environmental Earthshot Prize. It is also their first official overseas visit since the death of Queen Elizabeth.

But the trip risks being overshadowed by Netflix releasing a surprise trailer for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new documentary series – as well as a racism controversy involving Prince William’s godmother says The Week.

The late Queen’s lady-in-waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, has resigned amid uproar over her questions to Ngozi Fulani during a domestic abuse charity event hosted by the Queen Consort at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

Fulani told BBC Radio 4’s Today program that “it was like an interrogation”, and asked, “how this can happen in a space that’s supposed to protect women against all kinds of violence”.

“Although it’s not physical violence, it is abuse,” added Fulani, head of the Sistah Space charity. Hussey’s “racist remarks” will “take an already bruised palace two steps back”, said Caroline Davies in The Guardian. “This is already an acutely sensitive time for the House of Windsor,” wrote Davies, amid reports that the “long-awaited” Netflix documentary on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will air next week.
