EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1931, H.H. The Aga Khan, a renowned racehorse owner and member of the wealthy and influential Aga Khan family, is seen in the company of Miss Margaret Whigham and Mr. Waddington at the Autumn race meeting at Newbury. The elegant and stylish Margaret, who would later marry Charles Sweeny and then become the Duchess of Argyll, is dressed in a chic hat and coat, exuding an air of sophistication and grace. The Aga Khan, a prominent figure in British society, had seven horses running at the race meeting that day. The previous year, his son, Prince Aly Khan, had fallen deeply in love with Margaret, but her parents disapproved of the match due to the significant difference in their social statuses. Despite the family's objections, the young couple continued their secret romance, which would eventually lead to their marriage in 1931. However, their union was short-lived, as they divorced in 1949. The photograph captures a moment in time when the worlds of high society, wealth, and horse racing intersected, with The Aga Khan, Miss Whigham, and Mr. Waddington all coming together at the Newbury race meeting. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the historical past, offering a glimpse into the lives of these intriguing individuals and the social norms of the time.
