The late Queen Elizabeth’s lady-in-waiting has resigned and apologised after she made “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments” by asking a prominent black advocate for survivors of domestic abuse where she “really came from”.

Buckingham Palace said it took the incident, at the British queen consort’s reception on violence against women on Tuesday, “extremely seriously” and had investigated immediately.
