1932 Announcement Argyll Duchess Engaged Engagement Golfer Margaret Sweeny Whigham Miss
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black-and-white photograph, Miss Margaret Whigham and Mr. Charles Sweeny announce their engagement with radiant smiles, having previously denied the rumors up to the last moment. The image captures the excitement and joy of the moment, as the couple embraces the attention of the press and the society world. Miss Whigham, a former American socialite, had previously made headlines when she married Charles Sweeny in 1930. Their union was the subject of much gossip, with Cole Porter even mentioning her new name in his song "Miss Otis Regrets." However, this marriage was short-lived, and Miss Whigham later married Ian Campbell, the Duke of Argyll, in 1932. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, is a testament to the glamour and opulence of the era. Miss Whigham, dressed in a elegant gown and pearls, and Mr. Sweeny, in a smart suit and bow tie, exude confidence and sophistication. The background is blurred, drawing all focus to the engaged couple and their moment of happiness. This portrait is a fascinating glimpse into the history of high society in the 1930s, a time of glamour, scandal, and intrigue. Miss Whigham and Mr. Sweeny's engagement was just one of many headline-making moments in their lives, and this photograph captures the essence of their joy and excitement as they embarked on a new chapter together.
