EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph from the summer of 1931, Miss Margaret Whigham, later known as the Duchess of Argyll, is seen gracing a lively party held at her parents' residence, Queens Hill, in the prestigious location of Ascot. The young socialite, dressed in a stunning evening gown, is captured in a moment of laughter and delight as she engages in conversation with Mr. Pemberton. The scene exudes the opulence and sophistication of the 1930s social elite. The grandeur of Queens Hill, with its sprawling gardens and magnificent architecture, sets the perfect backdrop for this glamorous gathering. The guests, adorned in their finest attire, revel in the joyous atmosphere, their faces reflecting the excitement and camaraderie of the evening. Miss Whigham, a prominent figure in London society, would later marry three times. Her first husband was Charles Sweeney, later known as the 7th Baronet Sweeny, whom she wed in 1933. In 1941, she married the Duke of Argyll, becoming the Duchess of Argyll. This photograph, taken just a few years before her first marriage, offers a glimpse into her youthful and carefree days, before she entered the world of titled nobility. Mr. Pemberton's identity remains unknown, but his presence in this image adds to the intrigue and allure of this moment in history. The photograph serves as a testament to the glamour and excitement of the 1930s, a time when society and high society mingled in the pursuit of pleasure and camaraderie.
