She is the second child of late Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten, and late Princess Sibylla of Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha and a granddaughter of late King Gustaf VI Adolf. Her sisters are Princess Margaretha, Mrs. Ambler, Princess Désirée, Baroness Silfverschiöld, and Princess Christina, Mrs. Magnuson.
She is the estranged wife of HSH Prince Johann Georg of Hohenzollern.
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.
