The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Buckingham Palace has acted with exceptional cruelty in dismissing a loyal octogenarian over an innocently intended comment. Most pensioners are unfamiliar with woke etiquette or the standards of 21st century sensitivity to diversity — Susan Hussey is not a racist and has never knowingly offended anyone in her long life.

Spectator (UK)

Establishment-critical narrative

Although Lady Hussey's questions were not necessarily racist, they were certainly loaded. Being elderly is not an excuse for insensitivity — the Queen would have recognized how alarming the statements made were. Too often in modern Britain the phrase, "Where are you from?" is asked in the wrong way for the wrong reasons. Lady Hussey's resignation was justified.
