Prince William has weighed in on a royal racism scandal that has engulfed Buckingham Palace. Ahead of a trip to the US, the Prince of Wales said he was “really disappointed” to hear of racism claims about a senior royal aide. She allegedly repeatedly asked a British black palace guest where she was “really from”. Lady Susan Hussey, a lady-in-waiting of the late Queen, resigned from her role at Buckingham Palace. She was accused of quizzing Ngozi Fulani over her nationality at a reception on Wednesday, the Sun reported. Fulani, who was born in Britain, was at the reception hosted by the Queen Consort, Camilla for campaigners against violence towards women. Fulani said she was horrified when Hussey approached her and asked: “Where do your people come from?”

The world’s largest volcano is oozing rivers of glowing lava, drawing thousands of awestruck viewers who jammed a Hawaii highway that could soon be covered by the flow. Mauna Loa awoke from its 38-year slumber this week, causing volcanic ash and debris to drift down from the sky. A main highway linking towns on the east and west coasts of the Big Island became an impromptu viewing point. Anne Andersen left her overnight shift as a nurse to see the spectacle, afraid that the road would soon be closed. “It’s Mother Nature showing us her face,” she said, as the volcano belched gas on the horizon. “It’s pretty exciting.” Yesterday the lava was tumbling slowly down the slope and was about 10km from the highway known as Saddle Rd. It was not clear when, or if, it would cover the road, which runs through old lava flows.
