A British Nigerian woman, Eva Omaghomi made headlines as she arrives at the coronation of King Charles III dressed in a stunning traditional attire with a matching gele (head tie). Her attire stood out among the crowd, and social media users have commended her for representing Nigerian culture at the event, which took place on May 6th at Westminster Abbey.
Eva Omaghomi isn’t new to the palace, for 13 years, she worked for King Charles and Queen Camilla during his time as the Prince of Wales and her time as the Duchess of Cornwall. She holds the record as their longest-serving staff member, as well as their longest-serving black staff member.
