EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Marchioness of Downshire, Katherine Mary Hare (1872-1952) 2. Subtitle: A Scandalous Marriage and Divorce in Edwardian High Society 3.. This portrait captures the enigmatic beauty of Katherine Mary Hare, the Marchioness of Downshire, in the year 1900, just before her world came crashing down. Born into an aristocratic family, Katherine married the 6th Marquis of Downshire, Percy Blundell, in 1893. Their union produced three children: Arthur Wills Percy Wellington Blundell Trumbull Sandys Hill (later 7th Marquess of Downshire), Lord Arthur Francis Henry Hill, and Lady Kathleen Nina Hill. However, beneath the glittering surface of their marriage, Katherine's heart belonged to another man. The affair, which began in the late 1890s, eventually led to a highly publicized divorce in 1902. The scandal rocked Edwardian high society, with whispers and gossip following Katherine wherever she went. Despite the controversy, Katherine continued to captivate those around her with her magnetic charm and striking appearance. This photograph, taken in 1900, offers a glimpse into her life before the storm, a time when her future was uncertain but filled with hope and promise. The Marchioness of Downshire's story is a reminder of the complexities and contradictions that often lie beneath the veneer of aristocratic society. Her life, filled with love, scandal, and heartache, continues to intrigue and fascinate historians and biographers alike.
