Picture No 10638504
Date 1930
Description Margaret Whigham on front cover of the Sketch
Details

Miss Margaret Whigham drawn by society portraitist, Olive Snell on the front cover of The Sketch in 1930, the year of her coming out as a debutante. The pictured accompanied news that her mother was to be given a dance on 1 May, audaciously right at the start of the London Season. In 1933, Margaret married American golfer Charles Sweeny and became the Mrs Charles Sweeny name-checked by Cole Porter in 'You're the Top'. She later married Ian Campbell, 11th Duke of Argyll and their subsequent divorce case was the sensation of the time.
