Princess Lilian was born on August 30, 1915 in Swansea, Wales, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Davies.
For a couple of years Lilian Davies was married to the actor Ivan Craig.
During World War II Mrs. Craig worked at a radio factory making radio sets for the British merchant fleet. She also served at a hospital for wounded soldiers.
In 1943 Mrs. Craig met Prince Bertil of Sweden in London for the first time. They married on December 7, 1976 in the Drottningholm Palace Chapel, when Lilian Craig became Princess of Sweden and Duchess of Halland.
On January 5, 1997, Prince Bertil died in their home at Villa Solbacken, Djurgården, Stockholm.
Princess Lilian is the patron of several associations and organisations. The Princess especially takes a great interest in the work of SOS Barnbyar Sverige (Children's Villages Sweden), of which she is the patron.
The Princess is also an honorary member of several clubs and associations, and she often takes part in prize and medal ceremonies, associated with Prince Bertil's sphere of interest.
