Princess Margarita's paternal grandparents were Prince Maximilian of Baden and Princess Marie Louise of Hanover, a great great granddaughter of George III. Her maternal grandparents were Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg. She was therefore a niece of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, husband and consort of Elizabeth II. She was a first cousin to The Prince of Wales and his siblings.
She was in the Line of succession to the British throne. Following the death of Princess Katherine of Greece and Denmark in 2007, Princess Margarita became the most senior female in the line of descent from Queen Victoria, of whom she was a great-great-great-granddaughter.
