It is the first time the couple have been pictured since Buckingham Palace was engulfed by a race row.
Both the Palace and William tonight condemned the “unacceptable” conduct of a top Royal aide who triggered the race storm.
Lady Susan Hussey, who is William’s Godmother and was a loyal and trusted servant to the late Queen, asked a black British-born guest at a reception: “Where are you really from?”
The 83-year-old has stepped down from an honorary role after making the comments to domestic violence worker Ngozi Fulani during a Palace bash on Tuesday.
Ngozi, 61, said Lady Susan approached her, moved her hair to see her name badge and asked: “Where do your people come from?”
When the charity worker explained she was born in Britain and lives in Hackney, East London, the royal staffer asked: “What part of Africa are you from?”
Ngozi said the experience, which reportedly occurred just ten minutes after she arrived, left her “insulted” and with mixed feelings.
