what an interesting woman!

Indeed, it is sad there aren't many pics to share, but I think she is a sort of "icon of the past" because she was very much at the trendsetting pinnacle in the 1930s, even 1920s (I guess mid-to-late 1920s). She was at the height of British aristocratic society then, running in the most fashionable circles, and many expected her to be Princess of Wales! Her style was copied and raved about. I think she and Wallis were social rivals, weren't they?
Sort of like a "Paris and Nicole"?
