Henrietta Tiarks, Dowager Duchess of Bedford
I don't know the exact date of this photograph, or the whereabouts of its setting. I'd imagine its around 1958 and appears to be by the photographer Mark Shaw, although I'm not certain. There are very few pictures of HT as a model. Most of which are also taken by Shaw.

Angelica Houston was once told; "you'll never be pretty but you'll always be magnificent." This is perhaps the secret of Ms Tiarks. Imagine her drifting into a smokey cocktail bar. Now imagine Kate Moss stumbling out of Boujis, nipples to the wind at 3.15 in the morning.
"I still have some beautiful ball dresses, but they live in a cupboard — nobody gives balls any more. I haven’t worn a tiara in 25 years. Times have changed. The aristocracy has no point any more."
