Princess Margaret, Duchess of Forshamn (born Margaret Patricia Mackenzie; 21 August 1900 - 19 March 1993) was a princess of Friskland, by her marriage to Prince Henrik of Friskland, the youngest child of Henrik VI of Friskland and Queen Theodora of Friskland.
Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, the ninth of Douglas and Elizabeth Mackenzie's ten children, Margaret lived there and worked as a maid in a hotel, where she encountered Prince Henrik of Friskland. The two fell in love, and became engaged to be married. The marriage was sanctioned by the government because although Margaret herself was not a member of the nobility, she had ancestral links to the Earls of Cromartie.
She married to Prince Henrik in 1936, and they had one daughter:
- Princess Helin of Friskland (Helin Alexandra Margarethe; born 1939)
