The "Dirty Duchess" Who Rocked High Society

When it comes to British scandals, there’s no better place to start than the “Dirty Duchess,” Margaret Campbell. She was infamous among the high-society set before she even married the Duke of Argyll-but after their incredibly messy divorce, she became one of the most notorious women in England. After all, the Duchess had one enormous skeleton in her closet.

I feel really sad for her. Maligned and hurt she was actually a nice lady who always made an effort to look glamorous and stand on her dignity, despite the scandal and all the mud-slinging. I met her back in the 1970s and she was kind to me, helping me out when I was stuck a long way from where I was staying. She made the offer to get me back safely. I intensely dislike reading the insults about her. She doesn't deserve it. She was indeed beautiful and dazzled in her era - but suffered great misfortune in her life of a kind that today's society would barely even notice.

[@sshaw4429]

What women went thru in history is horrid. Sold, raped essentially, forced to give birth, and had no control over their finances. Once married they couldn’t even hold jobs. And of course they placed blame on the woman for the sex of the baby. Lord, glad I’m alive today.

Falling down lift shafts happen. I worked in an office - I won't say where - where one colleague apparently went to go into the lift that had opened - only to discover it wasn't even there - she found herself gazing into an empty shaft.

It isn't hugely uncommon for a change in personality after a head injury. It happened to a little girl I used to babysit for - she fell down and knocked herself out (I think she got a concussion) and, according to her twin sister, wasn't the same after that. I think this woman's change was a combination of injury, some sort of personality disorder, and the stress of her early life experiences.

[@ailleananaithnid2566]

No, it’s hardly rare. It depends on the location to of the brain injury. People with a severe TBI (especially serious enough to experience a coma) often emerge with a change in personality. A concussion? It’s possible, depending in what part of her brain was injured & whether or not a clot may have formed that caused atrophy. Many serial killers have damage to the area of the brain that controls emotions: The prefrontal cortex is hugely important in regulation of emotions and empathy. Damage to that area causes a lack of empathy, sadistic behavior including sexual assault that escalates to murder. There’s mounting evidence that people thought to have certain “personality” disorders actually have brains that aren’t like yours or mine. The people we dismiss as “evil” aren’t fixable because we just don’t know enough about neuroscience to fix them. At least not yet.

Those dark circles under her say a lot about her unhappiness. Back then, to label a woman as a nymphomaniac was the kiss of death. A woman's reputation was a fragile thing. It could be destroyed in a heartbeat. And if a woman did anything to contribute to her bad reputation, the public could be merciless. Btw, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. really got around back then. But no one called him a nympho...on the contrary, he was a playboy, a lovable rogue..it seems only a woman could earn a bad reputation. I wish her memoirs could be published.

[@carolinemacrae6227]

Promiscuity in women and men could be bipolar. Stephen Fry made a programme about how bipolar effects people. They dontbeven have fo have been molested in early childhood to turn "nympho." It is a medical condition which is inherited. Gifted actors are often diagnosed with it. It's a double edged sword because for a few days the sufferer will be on a spending spree partying bonking and invisible, possibly writing an epic book, then they crash and attempt suicide or becoming a recluse. They often say they want their bipolar because they like the highs. But they are in w terrible way when they are low. Dark 4ings around the eyes is likely kidney infection.

I had to look up how old she was when she got pregnant and had this forced abortion. 16. She was just 16 when she had her encounter with Neven. In many countries today this would be considered statutory rape. I'm putting this in context as the comments here seem wildly prejudiced and ignoring the fact that she must have experienced severe trauma and ptsd. The forced abortion at this time would not have been what we would today see as a safe medical procedure. I doubt it would have been entirely pain-free, and it undoubtedly led to the miscarriages. I also wouldn't surprised if there was child sexual abuse earlier given her actions. So here is a woman with severe trauma and painful experience before she is even an adult. We know through research today that such traumas change brain chemistry permanently. She is repeatedly told there is no value in her except her body i.e. how she looks and if she can produce children. She trauma is compounded by societal sexualisation/objectification and later her controlling partners and miscarriages. THEN she has a brain injury which clearly causes permanent brain damage. Her ability to have sex was probably the only way she felt valued. I'm unsurprised by this. I'm also unsurprised by the hypocritical way her society spoke about her. Aristocrats are notorious for sleeping around. Heck, there is a fair amount of evidence that Prince Philip did. Just be a little kinder people. It'll do you good.

They are finding lately that head trauma causes a lot of "unacceptable" behaviour. Not just promiscuity, but violence. Research into serial killers and violent people has found that many of them had been hit in the head in childhood. We know so little about the brain. But she's also not the only one whose been taken in by terrible men and suffered because of it. Not myself, but an old school friend. She just couldn't seem to see the bad side to the men she married until it was too late.

​​​@@deanfirnatine7814no...it prevents us from being able to make sound decisions for ourselves. (I know right from wrong. )We lose that ability. I also lost that 3 second delay that occurs in normal brains. Mine is gone. It does come in handy ....like the times I've been able to make split second maneuvers to avoid hitting a deer running out in front of my vehicle for instance. But it can be bad if that maneuver was incorrect....because it's a knee jerk reaction ....I don't think about it. My brain has overcompensated since I was only 7 when my brain injury occurred.

It takes 2 people to have a sexual encounter, yet the women (Margaret) is labeled as “Promiscuous “,…..what is the man in this sexual encounter labeled? Just being a normal man? A conqueror of woman? Whatever the label given, it seems a little hypocritical the woman is the cause of the encounter and the man (I assume it’s a man) doesn’t seem to have his reputation effected! In that male dominated era, I guess it was all her fault and the poor upstanding man simply another innocent victim of this promiscuous female? Well, that sounds fair!!! 17:30

Wow, I just ordered a book called The Unfit Heiress. Apparently she (Ann Cooper Hewitt) had a very similar experience. I thought that was who you were talking about. It is just tragic how these young women were medically violated (sterilized or receiving abortions) at the request of their parents or made notorious because of their “scandalous” lives. Now I hope to find Campbell’s autobiography Forget Not, published in 1975. I am also looking forward to seeing A VERY BRITISH SCANDAL (2021 miniseries starring Claire Foy as Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyle) Edited: Oops! I just looked for the autobiography and it is available for $93 to $350! I think I’ll skip that. I’m still intrigued and eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Unfit Heiress.

[@carolinemacrae6227]

The contrast of how promiscuous men were treated and promiscuous women. David niven was a well connected friend in my family and Douglas fairbanks junior. But these people were interesting and even very heroic, there sexlives were also larger than life.instead of getting parental love their parents had been messing around with people they were not married to. Their parents likely di the same. The husband's spent all the money from their rich beautiful wives, while they were In bed with another more sympathetic man and when husband finds out the woman would be harshly judged by a hypocrite high court judge who is likely spending all his wife's money on a callgirl hired out by Christine Keala's boss, the cousin of another family friend. Noone is better than anyone but money without moral obligations corrupts when not enough family love. Everyone needs love, money can't replace that.

There are two very odd breaks in the narration of this video. First, at 5:10, comes "...the business man, and avid golfer, Charles - " followed by no last name. So you don't know the full name of her first husband till 5:19, when the narrator says "But when she tried to have children with Sweeney..." Next, there's no mention of her divorce from Sweeney. She's recovered from her elevator-shaft plunge...then she's having affairs. At 7:05 there's a bit of an unidentifiable word that's been partly cut off by an edit, followed by an incomplete sentence: "...among her conquests was a broken engagement..." No mention of the divorce till after this, so you don't know that she's now unmarried. Very strange and annoying.
