EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Ronald Ferguson, née Susan Mary Wright, later Susan Barrantes, graced the cover of The Tatler magazine in January 1957, at a pivotal moment in her life. At the age of just 20, she was a young mother and wife, married to Commander Ronald Ferguson, a Scottish naval officer. The photograph captures her in elegant style, with a timeless beauty that radiates youth and grace. Born in London in 1937, Susan Mary Wright grew up in a privileged background, attending the prestigious St. George's School in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Her marriage to Commander Ferguson in 1956 marked the beginning of a glamorous social life, and she quickly became a fixture in London's high society circles. The Tatler cover, with its striking black and white composition, showcases Susan's impeccable fashion sense and poised demeanor. Her chic outfit, featuring a tailored skirt suit and a stylish hat, reflects the fashion trends of the time, while her confident expression and elegant posture exude an air of sophistication and charm. Years later, Susan's life took a dramatic turn when her marriage ended in divorce, and she went on to marry Spanish businessman, José Barrantes. She gained renewed fame as the mother of Sarah, Duchess of York, and became a beloved figure in the media for her resilience and strength. This historic photograph, taken over six decades ago, offers a glimpse into the life of a young woman on the cusp of fame and fortune, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of The Tatler and the power of a captivating portrait.
