Like her father and following years of heavy smoking, Princess Margaret underwent an operation to remove part of her left lung in early 1985. In 1993, she contracted pneumonia. ... After her third stroke, the princess died on February 9, 2002,
Princess Margaret was the first member of the British royal family to be born in Scotland for more than 300 years Princess Margaret was born on 21 August 1930 in Glamis Castle, Scotland, the family seat on her mother's side. At the time of her birth, she was fourth in line to the throne through her father, Bertie (later King George VI). Although her parents hoped to call her Ann, the name was vetoed by her grandfather King George V, so they instead opted for the name Margaret Rose - which was later affectionately shortened to "Margot" by those close to her. According to the Independent, the registration of Margaret's birth was delayed for several days to "avoid her being number 13 in the parish register".
