EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Charles Sweeny, formerly known as Margaret Whigham, the Deb of the Year of 1934, poses for a unique and intriguing portrait in 1939. Surrounded by her cherished possessions, she is seen with her daughter Frances, her loyal companions Michael the Alsatian and Gaby the poodle, their elegant Packard car, and a glimpse into her home at 6, Sussex Place in Regent's Park. The shelves filled with books suggest an unexpected interest in literature, while her pet charity, the School for the Blind at Swiss Cottage, is a testament to her compassionate side. The swimming costume lying nearby reflects her preferred method of keeping fit. Once a socialite, Mrs Sweeny's life took an unexpected turn when she became the Duchess of Argyll, a title she held until her scandalous divorce in 1963. This image offers a glimpse into the private world of a woman who defied societal expectations and lived life on her own terms.
