The Duchess once told The New York Times: "I don't think anybody has real style or class any more. Everyone's got old and fat." She described herself as "always vain". Another quote gives an insight into her personality: "Always a poodle, only a poodle! That, and three strands of pearls!" she said. "Together they are absolutely the essential things in life."

Ethel Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll ( née Whigham, formerly Sweeny; 1 December 1912 – 25 July 1993) was a Scottish heiress, socialite, and aristocrat who was most famous for her 1951 marriage and much-publicised 1963 divorce from her second husband, Ian Campbell, 11th Duke of Argyll. [1] Early years [ edit ] Reid, Melanie (15 January 2022). "Aristocrat who courted sex scandals". Review. The Weekend Australian. p.15. Granting the divorce, Lord Wheatley, the presiding judge, said the evidence established that the Duchess "was a completely promiscuous woman whose sexual appetite could only be satisfied with a number of men". [4] He continued: "Her attitude to the sanctity of marriage was what moderns would call 'enlightened' but which in plain language was wholly immoral." [17] Many of the men the Duchess was alleged to have slept with were homosexual; she was unwilling to divulge this as sexual acts between men were illegal in the United Kingdom at the time.

Marguerite of Asterias, Meg for her friends, is burdened by the responsability of her father’s kingdom. Her father is aging and hasn’t the force anymore to guide his knights and soldiers in battle. Plus he knows little of the real life of his people, some starving, some ill... so she decides to disguise herself and visit her father’s kingdom and find ways of helping them and getting them food, clothes and basic needs. But what to do about the century long battle with Edmira, their long time enemies. How to save Asterias from falling into ruin? Ethel is a shy and quiet girl, the type to avoid problems and controversy. She keeps to herself and is heavily focused on school work. Beneath all that is a depressed and lonely young lady. The troubles that her family is currently facing certainly do not help. Despite her generally positive attitude, Ethel isn't afraid to get even. She is known to be quite underhanded and rude under the right circumstances, such as when she dumped a milkshake on Veronica, and later teamed up with Josie to ruin Veronica's chance of being school president.

Allen Ltd in 1975) which was reviewed negatively for its name-dropping and air of entitlement. She also lent her name as author to a guide to entertaining. With her fortune diminished, she opened her London house at 48 Upper Grosvenor Street, which had been decorated for her parents in 1935 by Syrie Maugham, [19] for paid tours. Her extravagant lifestyle and ill-considered investments left her largely penniless by the time she died. [20]I had wealth, I had good looks. As a young woman I had been constantly photographed, written about, flattered, admired, included in the Ten Best-Dressed Women in the World list, and mentioned by Cole Porter in the words of his hit song " You're the Top". The top was what I was supposed to be. I had become a duchess and mistress of a historic castle. My daughter had married a duke. Life was apparently roses all the way. [2] Nicholas of Edmira has always been a soldier since he was a child. Now he’s an important knight that has led Edmira to various victories. A famous legend, he even has gained the fearful name Wolf Knight. But is he just all fierceness and power? Margaret's children later placed her in a nursing home in Pimlico, London. The Duchess died in penury in 1993 after a bad fall in the nursing home. Her funeral, a requiem mass, was held at Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street in Mayfair. [24] She was buried alongside her first husband, Charles Sweeny, who had died only four months earlier, in Brookwood Cemetery in Woking, Surrey. [25]
The villains where greatly portrayed too. All the characters felt realistic and the main characters were very relatable. Ethel is the only Hero who is unable to permanently join the party without completing her ascension condition. This story was awesome! I loved the characters! Meg was feisty, but kind and selfless. Nicholas was strongminded but also kind and with a heart of gold. You definitely have to read it if you love this genre, and if you don’t, you should try and maybe change your mind!The one-day show will take place Thursday, March 17 (tangentially to South by Southwest, which will be going on in nearby Austin). More than 35 artists will perform, including Sir Woman, Devon Gilfillian, Shane Smith and the Saints, Guster, Pearla, Peter One, Terry Allen and the Panhandle Mystery Band, Arcy Drive, Hermanos Gutiérrez, Sierra Ferrell, and Angel White. In 1978, Margaret's debts forced her to move from Upper Grosvenor Street and relocate with her maid to a suite at the Grosvenor House Hotel. [21] In April 1988, on the evening after the Grand National, she appeared on a Channel 4 After Dark discussion about horse racing "so she said, to put the point of view of the horse", later walking out of the programme "because she was so very sleepy". [22] In 1990, unable to pay the hotel bills, she was evicted and, with the support of friends and her first husband, moved into an apartment.
