Biography
The eldest daughter of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg, Margarita was born at the Royal Palace in Athens on 18 April 1905.
In 1930, Margarita was 25 when she met Gottfried ("Friedel"), hereditary prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, who like her descended from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Coming from the House of Hohenlohe, whose states were publicized at the beginning of the 19th century, the prince was heir to a fortune made up of castles, farmland, and forests. Margarita and Gottfried married on 20 April 1931.[1]
Margarita died on 24 April 1981 in a clinic in Bad Wiessee, Bavaria. Her funeral took place in Langenburg, where she was buried alongside her husband.[2] Find A Grave: Memorial #68144657
