Very interesting thread! Thanks everyone for doing such great job....

You're welcome. We have to keep the threads about the historical royals going too. And Margareth is very interesting. Too bad she died thirty years before her father-in-law, so that she never became queen.

Crown Princess Margaretha certainly looked like her grandmother Victoria, didn't she?

I don't know, but I know her son prince Bertil looked very much alike her.

There seems to be a problem with that picture, Elenaris. I can't see it.

True enough. Born to Rule focuses only on five of QV's granddaughters though---I think only because they were queens.

1. Alix of Hesse - became Empress Aleksandra of Russia in 1894.
2. Maud of Wales - became Queen of Norway in 1905.
3. Sophie of Prussia - became Queen of Greece in 1913.
4. Marie of Edinburgh - became Queen of Romania in 1914.
5. Ena of Battenburg - became Queen of Spain in 1906.

Speaking of books on Crown Princess Margaret, does anyone know if there are any...in English print?
