It is with great sorrow that I and our family announce that Princess Lilian passed away on Sunday, March 10. The Princess was much loved by our family and we all remember her as a happy, funny and witty person. She was a true joy spreader and had the ability to always create a good and warm atmosphere around her. The young ones of our family always appreciated the Princess' happy antics and humorous manners. The Princess Prince Bertil's involvement in sports and in Kungl Automobil Klubben. She was always loyal and stood strongly for the Royal Family and for Sweden. A very dear and beloved member of the family is now gone
