Angela Margo Hamar Delevingne was an English aristocrat and socialite. The daughter of Hamar Greenwood, 1st Viscount Greenwood, she was a prominent debutante in the late 1920s and was presented at court in 1930. Somewhat rebellious in nature, she was pulled out from Slade School of Fine Art, where she had been studying to be a painter, by her mother due to her making "unconventional" life choices.

As a member of the London social scene, she was courted by Francis Yeats-Brown before marrying Edward Dudley Delevingne, a divorcé and friend of Edward, Prince of Wales, much to the dismay of Lady Greenwood.
