EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Winifred "Freda" Dudley Ward (1896-1975) is captured with her two young daughters, Penelope and Angela. The image, taken in the early 1920s, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the renowned British socialite and her offspring. At the time of this photograph, Freda was widely known as the Duke of Windsor's (formerly Prince of Wales) first great love. Having divorced her first husband, she had recently married Pedro, Marquess de Casa Maury, a Spanish aristocrat. The Duke's relationship with Freda, which began in the late 1910s, was a significant scandal due to the future monarch's position and the societal norms of the time. Despite the controversy surrounding her personal life, Freda remained a prominent figure in high society. Her beauty, charm, and charisma continued to captivate the public, making her an intriguing and enigmatic figure. In the portrait, Freda exudes an air of confidence and grace, while her daughters, Penelope and Angela, mirror her poise and refinement. The photograph is a testament to Freda's enduring allure and her ability to maintain her status as a captivating and influential woman, even amidst the tumultuous events of her personal life. The image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the lives of a prominent British socialite and her family during a time of great change and upheaval. The portrait is a captivating reminder of the complexities and intrigues of the British aristocracy and the societal norms of the early 20th century.
