On 19 June 2001, Princess Margarita married the entrepreneur Edwin Karel Willem de Roy van Zuydewijn, member of a Dutch patrician family. The
civil marriage of the couple took place in
Amsterdam, Margarita and her husband accused the Dutch Royal House and the
Dutch secret service of obstructing the affairs of
Fincentives, the company of de Roy van Zuydewijn. They also said that their telephone conversations had been secretly
tapped. Eventually it was revealed that the Queen's personal Cabinet had indeed ordered an investigation; the right to do so had been legally removed from the Queen. The couple's home was the
Bartas Castle in
Saint-Georges,
Gers,
France, but by 2004 the princess was increasingly seen more often in Amsterdam than there. On 13 August 2004, it was revealed that she was filing for a
divorce; the official divorce was signed on 8 November 2006. The marriage did not produce any children. Because of the quarrels between the princess and the Dutch Royal family during the Margarita-affair, she was not welcome at the marriage of her cousin
Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange to
Máxima Zorreguieta, or at the funeral of her uncle,
Prince Claus of the Netherlands. However, after her divorce from De Roy van Zuydewijn, her relationship with the royal family improved. ==Second marriage and family==
