Defending her actions on account of age bestows an ignorance on the elderly that is utterly avoidable. Her actions were racist, it is that simple, and age is no defence. Would she have been as persistent in her questioning of a white person? Absolutely not.It’d be a pretty elaborate stitch-up tbf. Creating a charity seven years ago just to eventually gain an invite to Buckingham Palace, then somehow tricking a relatively insignificant Royal aide to inappropriately quiz you about your background would be some 3D-chess.
It’s one thing to defend Hussey on the grounds of her age or even her intentions in the conversation, but to suggest that she was somehow stitched up, or that the transcript is fabricated, is a bit much.
