Princess Margaret’s Historic French Estate
Posted: May 12, 2023 | Source: www.scmp.comPrincess Margaret of Denmark left her Paris home in 1939 to escape the Nazis who had just invaded Poland. Escaping through Spain to Portugal to New York, the princess worked making hats while her husband worked at a gas company and her oldest daughter as a shop clerk to make ends meet until the war was over and they were able to return to Paris.
The fabulous Côte d’Azur estate where Princess Margaret and her husband later made their home is going to a no-reserve auction. Overlooking the French Riviera, the one-of-a-kind residence dates back to the 1920s, a majestic manor house built into the stone walls of a fortress. The list price, prior to auction, was $12 million.
