EDITORS COMMENTS
At Cap d'Antibes: A Glimpse into the Glamorous World of the Aga Khans and Claud Leigh in the 1930s This evocative photograph captures a moment of elegance and sophistication as the Begum Aga Khan, Princess Andrée Carron (1898-1976), and Mrs. Claud Leigh (date unknown) enjoy a leisurely afternoon at the Begum's villa in Cap d'Antibes, France, in 1931. The Begum, the third wife of Aga Khan III, is dressed in a chic, high-waisted flapper dress, accessorized with a stylish cloche hat and pearls, while Mrs. Leigh, described by Tatler as a "very popular London hostess," dons a charming floral dress and a sun hat. The villa's lush gardens, filled with exotic plants and blooming flowers, serve as the perfect backdrop for this snapshot of high society life on the French Riviera during the 1930s. The Aga Khans, who were known for their lavish lifestyle and social connections, were regular visitors to Cap d'Antibes, and this photograph offers a glimpse into their glamorous world. Princess Andrée Carron married Aga Khan III in December 1929 and together they had one son, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan. However, the couple divorced in 1943. Mrs. Claud Leigh's identity remains somewhat elusive, but her presence in this photograph adds an intriguing layer to the story of these famous personalities. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and charm, transports us back to a bygone era of glamour and elegance on the French Riviera. It serves as a reminder of the captivating lives of the Aga Khans and their connections to the high society of the 1930s.
