Meet Britain's first black aristocrat,also the firstlady of Longleat,who is still facing Prejudice and racism.

Longleat family home
Emma McQuiston is the daughter of a Nigerian oil tycoon,who made history by becoming Britain's first ever member of the aristocracy.
So who exactly is Emma or should we say the current Viscountess of Weymouth?
The former model and food blogger is the daughter of Suzanna Mcquiston and Ladi Jadesimi,a Nigerian oil magnate,she was conceived after her mother had an affair with Jadesimi,who currently has four other children with his Nigerian wife Alero.
Emma studied art at University college,London,before becoming a chef and has tried her hand at acting.She met her husband Ceawlin who is 12years her senior,when she was four and a bridesmaid at a wedding and she said that their relationship began by chance when the both attended the same dinner a little over three years ago,not minding the fact that they usually saw each other at family celebration since her half brother Iain Mcquiston is married to Ceawlin's half aunt,Silvy,the much younger half sister of Alexander,the present Marquess of Bath.
Although Emma comes from a family with considerable wealth on both sides,this means nothing to her mother in-law who keeps suspecting that she is a gold digger and she just married Ceawlin in order to promote her brand and to publicize her career.

In fact Ceawlin's parents who have been married for more than forty years snubbed their wedding,though Emma's parents were in attendance.
Emma felt sad about it though and said that she hopes that everything will be resolved in time,she is equally anxious to maintain the Longleat family home,because according to her,Longleat is a special,historical beautiful thing that needs to be treasured,she also looks forward to having laughter,family and happiness there.
Their children will be the first ever mixed race dynasty in the 1000-year history of the British nobility.
Emma says that there is still class and racism but she is not going to let that affect her,"it is a jungle and I'm going through it and discovering things,I am not super easily offended but it is a problem when someone makes you feel separate or different because of your race,I have never had anything horrible said or happen but it is something you sense,you can just tell with some people" she affirms.
