PRINCESS MARGARETHA, MRS. AMBLER

'Princess Margaretha, Mrs Ambler' (Margaretha Désirée Victoria) (born 31 October 1934), was born at Haga Palace outside Stockholm. She is the first child of Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten, and Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and granddaughter of King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden and Princess Margaret of Connaught (aka Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden).
Before her marriage she had a relationship with Robin Douglas-Home a Scottish aristocrat. He asked her grandfather, King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden, for permission to marry her but he refused. Then he asked Princess Margaretha of Sweden mother, Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, for the same thing but she also refused.
She met her future husband at a dinner party in the United Kingdom in 1963. On 28 February 1964, Princess Margaretha's engagement to the British citizen, John Kenneth Ambler, was announced. They were married on 30 June 1964, in Gärdslösa Church on the isle of Öland. As a result of her unequal marriage, she lost her style of ''Royal Highness'' and became ''Princess Margaretha, Mrs. Ambler''.
With her marriage, Princess Margaretha, Mrs Ambler put an end to her life as a public person, as she moved to the United Kingdom. She lives an anonymous life and does not perform any official engagements on behalf of the Royal Family.
Princess Margaretha, Mrs. Ambler and her husband are currently separated (although still married).
Princess Margaretha, Mrs Ambler's marriage has produced three children:

★ Sibylla Louise Ambler (b. 14 April 1965)

★ Charles Edward Ambler (b. 14 July 1966)

★ James Patrick Ambler (b. 10 June 1969)
