When even the royal families were opinion and really count on the diplomatic scene and European politics, it could happen that a king, read Edward VII of England, praying his brother child to show around her two beautiful daughters, hoping to arrange a royal marriage and "attract" the British orbit, the happy bridegroom with an adjacent country. The age, the first years of the twentieth century, it is favorable, both on the English throne to sit on the Portuguese two young bachelors (Catholic, this is true, while the princesses are obviously British Anglican, but ecumenism begins to go out of fashion and the favor of the king of England is a LIKELY excommunication) and even beyond the young men crowned there, so in January 1905, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, with his wife Louise and two daughters Margaret and Patricia, began a long journey across Europe. The first stop on this tour unusual is Lisbon, where the two princesses are "inspected" by King Charles I and Queen Amelia on a possible union with one of their two sons, Carlos and Manuel, the Connaught pass from Portugal to Spain to visit the young King Alfonso XIII who seems interested in Patricia. The two will meet again in effect in England, but she says no and he will eventually marry another grandson of Queen Victoria, Princess Victoria Eugenia of Battemberg.
Meanwhile, having finished the first part of the demanding journey in search of a king or a crown prince for their girls, the Dukes of Connaught head for North Africa and Cairo happens during a stop at an unexpected miracle. In the Egyptian city of passage is also the Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden, the grandson of King Oscar II, who falls in love with Margaret. La passione è reciproca e la principessa inglese accetta subito la proposta di matrimonio che le fa questo ragazzone alto, serio, coltissimo, appassionato di libri, di archeologia (diventerà un grande esperto di arte ed antichità orientali) e di botanica.

Il fidanzamento, salutato con entusiasmo da entrambe le famiglie, è brevissimo e i due innamorati si sposano il 15 giugno 1905 nella St. George Chapel del castello di Windsor.
In occasione delle nozze il khedivè d’Egitto Abbas Helmi II (titolo persiano che utilizzarono tutti i viceré d’Egitto dal 1867 al 1914) offre alla sposa una bellissima tiara, come ricordo del grande amore nato proprio nella sua terra. L’elegantissimo gioiello costituito by a series of light swirls of brilliant posts in platinum, in a pattern typical of the era, was built at the beginning of 1904 the Maison Cartier.
How is it a future king's wife, Margaret (renamed in 1907 following the death of King Oscar II and the ascension to the throne of her father Gustav V of Sweden Crown Princess) gives birth to one after the other five children Gustavo Adolfo, Sigvard, Ingrid, and Carl Johan Bertil. She is passionate about gardening, the princess turns Sofiero Castle Gardens, the house that she and her husband had received as a wedding gift, but between one thing and one is also interested in painting and photography.

La favola però ha un epilogo inatteso e tragico, mentre attende del suo sesto figlio, Margaret contrae un'infezione che la conduce rapidamente alla morte, il 1° maggio del 1920 a soli 38 anni.
