Nigerian, Emma McQuiston, Becomes First Black Marchioness in Britain

Posted in: ,

Emma McQuiston, the 26 year old daughter of Nigerian oil tycoon Ladi Jadesimi, with a British mother, made history when she married the Viscount Ceawlin Thynn, of Britain on Saturday 8th of June. Emma's Nigerian father Ladi Jadesimi was also at the wedding, to walk his daughter down the aisle.





Emma has become the first black Marchioness in Britain, and a member of the previously all white nobility. Apart from the queen I didn't know people still took those titles seriously. All the best to the couple.

  7. The problem is her bloodline. Plain and simple. She does not have royal blood. That is why the Marquis is upset.

    1. Bloodlines may be irrelevant. Who was Sarah Ferguson or Kate Middleton before they caught the Princes's eyes? Then again, take Princess Diana -- ideal pedigree: pretty, not that bright, daughter of an Earl, a "lady" in every sense. Yet the marriage to Prince Charles was always problematic and ended in divorce.

  8. Why is she going by her mothers married name and not that of her father.
