Poppy Baring

Helen Azalea "Poppy" Baring (8 November 1901 – 15 October 1979) was one of the Bright Young Things of the 1920s.

Their daughter married Baring in the first great international social match between an American bride and an English groom.

[4] In 1921 Albert, Duke of York (the future king George VI), fell in love with Baring, but she had the reputation of being "fast" and fun-loving.

After the marriage, Baring and Napier Sturt, 3rd Baron Alington (Lois' brother) accompanied the grooms to Dover.

[10] In 1927 Baring established a dress shop named "Poppy's" in Down Street where she sold the latest fashions.
