A few months ago, we discussed the situation with Emma Thynn, the Marchioness of Bath. Thynn is one of the “stars” of Ladies of London: The New Reign, and because everyone over there is singularly obsessed with the Duchess of Sussex, Thynn’s LoL introduction was very heavy on the comparisons to Meghan. Thynn married into British nobility, and she’s “using her title” to be a tacky reality-show star, yet someone on the show claimed that Emma Thynn was the first Black woman with a title or whatever.
Meanwhile, Thynn has been doing all she can to break into the American market too. Thynn has been in New York for much of the past week, attending fashion events and pre-Met Gala events and trying to cozy up to much bigger celebrities. The photos in this post are from a reception for photographer Steven Klein, and as you can see, Emma was extra-cozy with Edward Enninful. Looks like we’re seeing some of the Daily Mail’s sourcing, right? Well, that’s not all. Over the weekend, Thynn tried to cozy up to Serena Williams when she knew the paparazzi were snapping pics. Thynn actually grabbed Serena’s arm. The Daily Mail dutifully reported that Serena “has thrown another ‘subtle dig’ at Prince Harry’s wife by stepping out at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s star-studded pre-Met Gala celebration in New York, alongside Emma Thynn, 40…Some fans have long accused Meghan of copying the Marchioness, who also has a lifestyle programme, and like the Duchess, produces homemade jam from her Longleat estate.” I can pretty much guarantee that Meghan doesn’t know that this woman exists. I doubt Serena knew the backstory either. Speaking of all of these suspicious maneuvers, the Mail’s Talk of the Town column included this:
Has the Marchioness of Bath stolen Meghan Markle’s crown? I only ask as Emma Thynn attended the NYC Gala last week with the Duchess’s former bestie Edward Enninful, greeting King Charles on his US tour.
Emma also has a lifestyle programme and, like Meghan, produces home-made jam from her Longleat estate. The last time I saw Emma I asked her what she thought of claims Meghan had copied her. She raised her eyebrow and said: ‘No comment.’
Imagine clout-chasing Meghan’s JAM. Well, they’ve all tried to do it too. We all know that Meghan is not the first person in the world to create a line of jams/spreads. But the way these people are like “I MAKE JAM TOO, I MADE JAM BEFORE MEGHAN” is bizarre. The royals do the exact same thing. “We have jam too, buy OUR jam to show Meghan!” And it’s clear that the royal system and people like Enninful are using Thynn and setting her up as Meghan’s foil, with Thynn as “the good Black woman, who knows her place.” See, we can’t be racist because we like HER and we’re using her to get the attention of the subject of our racist hate campaign!
Thynn made sure to pose with Serena, Venus and Enninful at the Met Gala too. Is Thynn, like, some kind of Daily Mail operative or something? Is she being sponsored by the British tabloids?

Who? The tabloids over there really don’t seem to understand the fact that most of their ‘celebrities’ don’t even register over here. I’m sure Venus and Serena were both like who the f?
There is a special place in hell for women that don’t support other women.
Yeah..I’ve been getting the feeling the tabloids are trying to position her as a rival to make money and Emma is absolutely playing into that . I have no issue with Emma but I hope really doesn’t continue to go down this route because it’s not going to work. It’s not going to make her successful or get Meghan to respond. They tried with the Meghan’s friends, Kate, VB and others. It won’t go anywhere. A literal waste of time.
I’m British and I a can confirm that Emma is virtually unknown here. She had a brief stint on Strictly Come Dancing and other less well known reality shows but most people would walk past her in the street. The only people who acknowledge her are derangers. I think she knows this so plays up to it to a certain extent. What lifestyle programme does she have? I certainly haven’t seen it on British tv. I think she made some cooking videos on YouTube which no one would know about if it wasn’t for derangers pretending Meghan was stealing her content.
She may know Serena but that doesn’t make her famous in London or New York. Her jam is sold in the gift shop of her husband’s stately home and nowhere else. She’s a clout chaser who is irrelevant unless brought up in the context of Meghan. We shouldn’t give her any extra attention because that’s what she wants.
