EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Margaret Whigham, the enigmatic British society figure, graces the cover of The Bystander magazine in this evocative photograph taken in 1933. At the time, Margaret, a debutante of the year in 1930, was on the cusp of making headlines with her upcoming marriage to American golfer, Charles Sweeny. This union would mark the beginning of a tumultuous journey that would see Margaret become Mrs. Sweeny, then the Duchess of Argyll, and ultimately, the subject of one of the most scandalous divorce cases in history. The image captures the young woman's captivating beauty and poise, with her elegant gown and demure expression. However, beneath this serene exterior lay a complex and intriguing personality that would soon be revealed to the world. Margaret's life took a dramatic turn after her marriage to Charles Sweeny, which ended in divorce in 1952. The ensuing scandal involved the publication of controversial photographs, including the infamous "headless man" image, which plunged Margaret into disgrace and penury. Despite the challenges she faced, Margaret's story is a testament to her resilience and determination. This photograph serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when the private lives of the rich and famous were a source of fascination for the public, and the line between celebrity and scandal was often blurred. The Bystander magazine, with its iconic cover featuring Miss Margaret Whigham, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the life of a woman who defied convention and captured the imagination of the world.
