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.
