News broke out about two women, Eva Omaghomi and Professor Dame Elizabeth Anionwu who played important roles at the coronation of England’s new monarch, King Charles III. It was published that they are of Nigerian descent.
The claim is true, here’s how we know.
While Eva Omaghomi stunned in all peach – a beautiful peach gown, peach stilettos and a peach gele, Professor Dame Elizabeth Nneka wore a blue lace shirt and skirt and a white gele, bearing the orb at the coronation.
The duo are known to always appear in such attire, typical of a Yoruba Owanbe outfit. A check on Google will state the facts.
According to a biography written by Professor Dame Elizabeth Nneka Anionwu on her website, https://www.elizabethanionwu.co.uk/about-me/, she was born in Birmingham in 1947 and identifies herself as of Irish/Nigerian heritage. She started work for the NHS as a school nurse assistant in Wolverhampton at the age of 16.
Elizabeth was inspired to become a nurse at the young age of four because, a ‘wonderful nursing nun’ treated her childhood eczema in an expert and sensitive manner. She is currently Emeritus Professor of Nursing at the University of West London.
Eva Omaghomi on the other hand is a British-Nigerian who has worked for King Charles and Queen Camilla during their 13 years’ reign as Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.
She is their longest-serving black staff. Charles in 2021 appointed Eva Omaghomi as the director of community engagement, a newly created role to improve diversity and culture in royal households.
CONCLUSION
The claim that two women who were stunning at King Charles’ III Coronation are of Nigerian descent is TRUE
