The Queen of Sweden passes away

"Princess Birgitta was the widow of Prince Johann Georg of Hohenzollern (1932–2016) and then lived abroad for a long time. The princess leaves three children with families," the announcement states.

Princess Birgitta was the wife of the German prince and art historian Johann Georg von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.

He was born on 19 January 1937 in The Hague Castle and was the second eldest child of Crown Prince Gustav Adolf and Princess Sibylla.

Princess Birgitta grew up in The Hague Castle with her four siblings Princess Marguerite, Princess Désirée, Princess Christina and Prince Carl Gustaf. The name Birgitta became popular for a period after she was named Princess Birgitta. The four princesses became known as "Hagasessorna".

Unlike her sisters, Birgitta retained her royal title after marriage because she married someone of her own status.

Birgitta divorced her husband in 1990, but the couple remained married. Johann moved to Munich while the king resided in Spain. Johann died in 2016 in Munich at the age of 83.
