I think it is pretty self-explanatory after reading exactly what Hans Christian Andersen's short story, "Emperor's New Clothes" was about, and then re-reading the lyrics. The story is about 2 weavers that make the King a new outfit that is invisible only to people that are stupid or unworthy of their position, or so they say. The King cannot see the material but acts like he does so that they don't think he is unworthy of being King. He parades around with nothing on, thinking everyone can see his clothes.
And then comparing that to the song's meaning - things are probably rocky in her relationship with a lot going on: her pregnancy, she's young and her sudden fame. People are talking about her, criticizing her, and saying things, maybe calling her things - people that don't really know her. All of these people that are talking about her "have a severe case of the Emperor's New Clothes", which is to say they are not worthy of saying anything to her and she is comfortable with herself and her actions and will "sleep with a clear conscious" and "sleep in peace", as well she should.
