As awful as the insensitive interchange was, I had to chuckle, as one could easily swap Lady Susan's name with that of the late Prince Philip when reading that conversation as relayed in the BBC story.
The King is wise to keep on the modernization (and hopefully zero tolerance) track. Hopefully with the vanishing of the old guard, the monarchy can lead by finally breaking free of that colonial-era tone-deaf mindset that was somehow okay in the past.
"Zero tolerance" is a mindset that cannot work in the British monarchy and I'm sure even King Charles understands that. "Zero tolerance" seems to infer that we listen to one side and make an instant decision based on that and that alone. The "colonial era tone deaf mindset that was somehow okay in the past" is a matter for another day!
