The Marchioness of Bath delivered a masterclass in regal dressing as she joined her husband Ceawlin Thynn, 8th Marquess of Bath, to host the Duke of Edinburgh at the family seat of Longleat yesterday.
Welcoming Prince Edward to her Wiltshire pile, Emma McQuiston-Thynn, 37, was the epitome of elegance in a classic black LBD by Roland Mouret, teamed with black pumps for a magnificent monochrome effect.
An impeccably tailored dress coat by Alexander McQueen created a sophisticated silhouette, while black veiled creation by Emily-London Headwear provided the perfect accent to the ensemble.
Prince Edward, 59, formerly the Earl of Wessex, attended the Rededication of the 43rd Wessex Division Service at Longleat, the family seat of the Marquesses of Bath since the 17th century.
During the visit, the royal spent time speaking to the Marquess and Marchioness of Bath, and their sons, John Thynn, Viscount Weymouth, nine, and Lord Henry Thynn, six.
Guests were entertained by a military brass band and invited to a reception in the Elizabethan Great Hall at the heart of the property, which is an impressive site with its soaring, dark wood beam ceiling bearing the family crest, and walls adorned with John Wooton paintings.
There was also an outdoor ceremony, held in a picturesque corner of the ground dappled with sunlight.
It was a proud moment for the marchioness, who shared an incredible selection of photographs offering a behind the scenes look at the royal visit.
‘An historic day for @longleatofficial with a service to Rededicate the 43rd Wessex Division Arboretum and Memorial Plaque attended by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh KG GCVO with the laying of wreaths,’ she wrote in the accompanying caption.
Longleat has long been at the forefront of British society.
Visitors have been welcomed onto the 450-year-old Wiltshire estate since 1949 when Henry Thynne, 6th Marquess of Bath, had the controversial idea to open its doors to the paying public.
He went on to totally redefine the world of tourism in 1966 when he launched the only drive-through safari park outside of Africa.
Now, the Safari Park, tucked behind the historic 130-roomed Longleat House, welcomes thousands of visitors a year.
It is at Longleat where the Marchioness of Bath was photographed for Tatler’s January 2021 cover shoot, resplendent in couture and every inch the stately chatelaine.

The Bath Diamond Tiara is now on display at Longleat House along with the wedding dress of Emma McQuiston Thynn, Marchioness of Bath. The part with the tiara starts at about 55 seconds and includes some new information. According to the curator, the tiara was made in 1862 for Frances Vesey Thynne, wife of the 4th Marquess of Bath. Previously, Daphne Vivian Thynne Fielding, wife of the 6th Marquess, was the first person known to have worn the tiara in the late 1930s.

I married a British man.
I was accused of tainting his centuries old bloodline with my black DNA
One side of the family didn’t attend my wedding.
One side of grandparents have never met my children.
My in-laws denied any racism
I filmed a documentary about my life.
I’m Emma Weymouth, Marchioness of Bath
The parallels between Emma and Meghan are uncanny

When in Bath! A visit to Persephone Books of course! I got a copy of The Making of a Marchioness by Frances Hodgson-Burnett. It was the first book I locked eyes with, and the subject matter itself seems right up my alley. And then I opened the book and find that the special pattern for this particular novel is a bouquet of tulips, which happens to be my favorite. Meant to be, I say.
