Help[Opinions] Re: Daisy.
in reply to a message by Eliora
It's pretty okay.
Albeit I'm not into flower names, but I may be tainted by our queen (the Danish queen Margrethe II), whose nickname is Daisy.

There haven't been any other royal women named Margrethe, at least not by their first first name, the one we know our queen's by, in Danish royalty since queen Margrete I, all the way back in 1412.
Margrethe II, is the current queen of Denmark, and her grandmother was Alexandrine, married to our former king Christian X.

Then she was our late queen Ingrid's mother and Ingrid was a former princess of Sweden. I'll concede to that, but that dosen't make her a member of the Danish royal house, only the Swedish royal house. I meant a full member of the Danish royal house, which only Ingrid became after marrying into it. Sure she was also Swedish, Ingrid I mean, but she did go to live in Denmark.
I've never heard about the maternal grandmother, well I might have a some point, watching a documentary about the royal house in Denmark, and about their connection/s to the royal house of Sweden, but since the above reasons it has hardly ever been mentioned. Or it just hasn't stuck to the storage box for royal information in my brain, in where I have the memory of hearing it. It may be laying on the bottom of another box in there, where I have to dig a bit deeper to find it.

I never said she was a member of the Danish royal house (she wasn't). She was born a member of the British royal family and married a Prince of Sweden. I was just saying she was Margrethe II's grandmother and was also called Daisy. In fact, Margrethe was probably named after her.
You may not have heard much of her because she died young in 1920 when Ingrid was only 10 years old. Ingrid's father married again to Lady Louise Mountbatten who eventually became Queen of Sweden.
