    Incorrect. Her father, George Whigham was a very wealthy gentleman. His family had been wealthy for over 200 years when she met the impoverished, Ian Campbell, H.G. The Duke of Argyll. His only income at the time was alleged to have been derived from sitting in The House of Lords. There may have been a small income from the Argyll duchy but it was in great difficulty when they met and constantly obliged to sell off it’s equities due to the lack of business acumen and irresponsible management of Ian Campbell’s father. The Clan Campbell seat at Inveraray Castle in Argyll was saved from dereliction by Margaret Whigham’s father, George Whigham, who paid for it to be filled with art treasures, saved from having it’s roof removed for taxation reasons and refurbished as only a part of what was a substantial dowry on his daughter’s behalf. On that basis of fact I find your extremely ignorant comment to be little more than thinly-glazed class war spite. There is not a shred of evidence for it whatsoever. On the contrary, Her Grace, Margaret, Duchess of Argyll contributed a very substantial amount of tax to the HM Revenue. She also spent considerably large amounts of her own money on saving a chaotic dog sanctuary and seeing to it that the impoverished woman who ran it and was in very great financial difficulties was rewarded by having her establishment upgraded into a first class animal sanctuary with a proper business infrastructure. She also saved The Argyll and Sutherland Highland Regiment from being dismantled as well as adopting two underprivileged children. I suggest that you get your facts straight before you make completely unfounded trolling comments. @@tashday9662

    I rarely focus on gender rights, or what is suitable for women vs. men. However, the duchess seemed to have been a true victim of what men are expected to do, demeanor of a "normal" man. Her demeanor was probably no different than many other women. It just became public. In the "a very British scandal" it frustrates me that she doesn't stand up more for herself. That she doesn't point out that she was the one supporting her husband, only for him to leave her investment in his estate to his son and not being the slightest reimbursed.

    It would have been fairly useless exercise to seek reimbursement or compensation as the problem was not recognized by the courts until the Matrimonial Property Adjustment Act of 1970 whereby (roughly speaking) if one of the parties in the divorce has made substantial investment in, or contribution to the property of the other party then they are entitled to an equity share of the value of the said property. Today she would have had the Duke over a barrel !

    The Duchess's very prickly reaction to the early questioning, which she could easily have taken in her stride, slightly gives her away. The recent Claire Foy drama's attempt to make her sympathetic was trying to build bricks with straw.

    Idk.....I found Clare Foy did an excellent job portraying the prickly side. Could be that it was the polar opposite of her portrayal of the younger version of the beloved late queen, and the protagonist/antagonist that made it seem so. To me, anyhow. She is such an amazing actress, imo, but, I was shocked by her performance......in a good way. Kinda like Dakota Johnson in 50 shades. Lol. All that being said, I do believe that they attempted to portray her in a manner in which we could sympathize with, but it could possibly be more so an attempt to show her in a vulnerable manner, the person nobody really knew.....simply because all anyone ever knew of her was this shallow, vain, and callous exterior, along with the public shaming of her extra marital affairs, while the Duke had his own demons, but was not publicized AS negatively as she. Guess it was the way of the times, when men, especially those of title, were almost expected to behave that way, but a woman should never. Their marriage was doomed with the AAAs...Affairs, Addiction, and Abuse. She was definitely a piece of work, and nothing excuses her behavior.....that being said, this man saw her as a checkbook, consistent vagina, a punching bag, and a doormat. Neither of them had any business being together. She wanted a castle, he wanted $. Sad.
