EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of The Sketch magazine, dated September 18, 1932, announces the engagement of the most talked-about, photographed, and paragraphed debutante of the season, Margaret Whigham, to the Earl of Warwick. The image, taken during their holiday in Cairo, showcases the radiant beauty and elegance of Margaret, dressed in a stylish, flowing dress and accessorized with a chic hat and gloves. The Earl of Warwick, looking dapper in his formal attire, gazes lovingly at his betrothed. Margaret Whigham, a popular socialite and aristocrat, was the epitome of sophistication and grace, making headlines for her striking appearance and captivating personality. Her engagement to the Earl of Warwick, a member of the British aristocracy, was the talk of the town, with society pages eagerly reporting on every detail of their romantic journey. However, just weeks before their wedding, Margaret shockingly broke off the engagement, leaving the aristocratic world stunned. The reasons for her decision remained a mystery, with rumors circulating about a possible love triangle or other personal reasons. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Margaret's life continued to be a source of intrigue and fascination. The following year, she married American golfer Charles Sweeny, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life. This image serves as a reminder of the whirlwind of emotions and surprises that often accompany the lives of the aristocracy and upper classes.
