Mrs Charles Sweeny
Mrs Charles Sweeny, formerly Miss Margaret Whigham and later the Duchess of Argyll (1912-1993) pictured wearing a tiny hat with a huge tuft of soft ostrich feathers and worn tilted over one eye. To complete the effect of winter chic she holds a silver muff up under her chin. Margaret was the darling of the media and a society beauty. After being Deb of the Year in her coming out of 1930, her marriage to American golfer, Charles Sweeny in 1933 cemented her popularity. Her divorce from her second husband, Ian, 11th Duke of Argyll and the accompanying court case scandalised Britain and plunged the Duchess into penury. Date: 1939
