Among her sisters she alone married a man of princely status, and, in keeping with the tradition that royal princesses who marry royal princes retain their premarital styles, Princess Birgitta retained her Swedish style of Royal Highness. A Princess (consort) of Hohenzollern would normally be entitled to the style of Serene Highness.
