Excerpt: Bridget Bate Tichenor (born Bridget Pamela Arkwright Bate on November 22, 1917 - died on October 20, 1990), also known as Bridget Tichenor or B.B.T., was a Mexican surrealist painter of fantastic art in the school of magic realism and a fashion editor. Born in Paris and of British descent, she later embraced Mexico as her home. Bridget was the daughter of Frederick Blantford Bate and Sarah Gertrude Arkwright (also known as Vera Bate Lombardi), and was reputedly descended from George III. Bridget spent her youth in England and attended schools in England, France, and Italy. She moved to Paris at age 16 to live with her mother where she worked as a model for Coco Chanel. She lived between Rome and Paris from 1930 until 1938. Fred Bate carefully guided Bridget with her art. He recommended she attend the Slade School in London, and visited her later at the Contembo Ranch in Mexico. Bate's close friend, surrealist photographer Man Ray, photographed Bridget at different stages of her modeling career from Paris to New York. Vera Bate Lombardi, Bridget's mother, was rumored to be the illegitimate daughter of Adolphus Cambridge, 1st Marquess of Cambridge and Duke of Teck, and was the public relations liaison to the royal families of Europe for Coco Chanel between 1925 and 1938. Bridget's grandmother, Rosa Frederica Baring was a member of the Baring banking family. Rosa Baring was a descendant of Sir Francis Baring, founder of Barings Bank, which established ties with King George V, beginning a close relationship with the British monarchy that would endure until Barings Bank's collapse. Because of the Baring family marriages, Bridget was distantly related to many European royal family members; Diana, Princess of Wales was a distant cousin to Bridget as her ancestor Charles Spencer, 6th Earl Spencer married Margaret Baring (1868-1906) in 1887 and they were both direct descendants of the Baring family. Bridget married Hugh Joseph Chisholm at the Chisholm family home, Strathgras
