Family
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.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“With all the attention paid to your new baby, it’s easy for your own feelings and needs to get lost in the shuffle. Although all parents engage in some self-sacrifice for their children, keep in mind that your goal isn’t just to raise a happy, healthy child. You want that child to be part of a happy, healthy family as well.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“A house means a family house, a place specially meant for putting children and men in so as to restrict their waywardness and distract them from the longing for adventure and escape they’ve had since time began.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
