Meghan Markle’s ‘deeply symbolic’ meaning behind Mother’s Day dress – ‘high-rank royalty’

Meghan Markle celebrated Mother’s Day in Nigeria, wearing her recycled yellow dress worn in her and Prince Harry’s Netflix documentary.

The Duchess of Sussex once wore the striking gown back in 2021 when she announced her pregnancy with daughter Princess Lilibet. She also opted for the Carolina Herrera Yellow Silk Overlay Column dress again during son Prince Archie’s first birthday party.

It was thought by wearing the dress during her unofficial royal tour in Africa she was paying tribute to her kids for Mothering Sunday in the US, but experts now tell the Mirror that the former working royal’s wardrobe decision actually had a much deeper meaning.

“Choosing to wear the same yellow dress on Mother’s Day was deeply symbolic,” celebrity PR expert Brenda Christensen explained. “Especially since she previously wore it for other meaningful family milestones.” She cited Archie’s first birthday and the announcement of her pregnancy with Lillibet. “It’s a celebration of motherhood.”

Brenda, the CEO of Stellar Public Relations, added: “Raised in LA by a yoga instructor mother, her connection to spirituality runs deep.” She added: “The colour yellow, representing happiness and joy, holds profound spiritual significance.”

“In many African cultures, including Nigeria, yellow is reserved for those of high rank due to its resemblance to gold, symbolizing wealth, quality, success, and royalty,” Christensen concluded, explaining what Meghan may have attempted to reference.

Meghan recently discovered she was 43 percent Nigerian, according to a genealogy test. After she made the discovery, she called her mum and said that it was “exciting” for them both. She previously noted that being African-American means “really not knowing so much about your lineage or background, where you come from specifically”.

“It’s been really eye-opening and humbling to be able to know more about my heritage and to be able to know this is just the beginning of that discovery,” she said previously.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in Abuja, Nigeria in the early hours of Friday morning. After they arrived, the couple went to a school to greet children and give speeches about mental health. Meghan even took selfies with some of the pupils at the Lights Academy while the Duke of Sussex photobombed his wife in a sweet way.
