Wonderful Weekends (Portrait of the Duchess of Argyle)

It has been a long while since our last "Sunday Portrait Post".  That's because there hasn't been any new portraits released and the archives are also dry.  State Portraits are periodically released by relevant governments but these normally commemorate an official event. We expect some new portraits to be released in Normandia to celebrate the impending birth of the new Normandian Crown Prince.

The Duchess of Argyle's Press Office however released a portrait to commemorate the Countess of Dysart's marriage to the Duke of Argyle and her consequential elevation to the courtesy title of Duchess. This is not a State Portrait obviously as those are only for reigning monarchs and their heirs but it is at least a nice portrait celebrating a significant happening in the world of  Royalty. 

Her Grace the Duchess of Argyle.

This photo is symbolically framed in a frame emblematic of the Duchess and her husband's Scotney heritage. Note the stag at the top seen as the King of Herbivores in Scotney and also the insignia of the Argyle Clan. The Duchess wears the Argyle jewels and a beaded top she designed herself.
