EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, The Hon. Mrs Ronald Greville, née Margaret Helen Anderson (1863-1942), is captured in her prime as a prominent British society hostess and philanthropist of the Edwardian era. Known affectionately as "Ronnie" or "Mrs Greville," she was a beloved friend of Queen Mary and the chatelaine of Polesden Lacey, a stunning Surrey mansion. Born into a wealthy family, Margaret Helen Anderson was a natural socialite who effortlessly charmed and entertained the high society circles of her time. Her glamorous soirées and extravagant parties were the talk of the town, making her a popular figure in Edwardian society. Her husband, Ronald Greville, 5th Baron Brookeborough, was a prominent Irish politician, adding to their social standing. Mrs Greville's philanthropic endeavors were equally noteworthy. She was a generous benefactor to various charities, including the Royal Academy of Arts and the National Gallery. Her kindness extended to the less fortunate, as she was known to provide employment opportunities for those in need. In her later years, Mrs Greville made headlines for her extraordinary act of generosity. Upon her death, she bequeathed her entire jewelry collection to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The collection, which included the famous Greville Emerald Necklace, is now part of the British Royal Collection. This photograph, taken in 1904, captures the essence of Mrs Greville's refined elegance and charisma. Her timeless beauty and captivating presence continue to intrigue and inspire, making her an enduring symbol of Edwardian high society.
