Britain's prince William has backed the decision of his godmother Susan Hussey to apologise and resign from the royal household after she repeatedly questioned a black British-born charity boss about where she “really came from”.

The incident, which left the monarchy being accused of “institutional racism”, has overshadowed the first day of William and Kate’s visit to America to stage the prince’s Earthshot Prize award ceremony.
