For the Vanity Fair Awards Insider event, Emma wore a stunning yellow gown, seemingly making a deliberate statement. It appears that the Marchioness of Bath is purposefully trolling Meghan Markle and demonstrating how to properly wear a yellow dress. During a visit to Nigeria, Meghan chose to wear the same yellow Carolina Herrera silk overlay column dress that she had previously worn for the announcement of her pregnancy with daughter Lilibet and son Archie's first birthday party.
Initially, it was believed that Meghan wore the dress as a tribute to her children on Mother's Day in the United States. Brenda Christenson, CEO of Stella Public Relations, elaborated on the significance of this choice, explaining that it symbolized a celebration of motherhood, especially since Meghan previously wore it for other meaningful family milestones. Meghan's deep connection to spirituality, stemming from her upbringing in Los Angeles by a yoga instructor mother, adds further layers of significance to her choice of attire.
The color yellow holds profound spiritual significance in many African cultures, including Nigeria, symbolizing happiness, joy, wealth, quality, success, and royalty. Recently, Meghan discovered through a genealogy test that she is 43% Nigerian, which she found exciting and humbling. During the visit to Nigeria, Meghan was honored as an "ardam Mari," a title of respect meaning daughter of an aristocrat of the ancient Aruku Kingdom. However, it was Emma Weymouth who is considered the true Nigerian princess, being the daughter of Nigerian oil trader Liji and English socialite Susan Manton.
Emma Weymouth's life is almost idyllic, being the chatelaine of the historic Longleat House, a model, TV star, cook, and mother of two adorable children. In 2019, Emma revealed that despite facing similar issues to Meghan Markle, she wouldn't presume to give her advice, emphasizing that she wouldn't compare herself to Meghan. Emma stated in an interview that she wouldn't want to be so bold as to give anyone advice, especially someone she hasn't even met, adding that she wouldn't want to compare herself to Meghan as she doesn't think it would be appropriate.
