Daughter of Count Nils Wachtmeister af Johannishus and Countess Ebba née De Geer, and born at Tistad Palace near Nyköping, she was herself a Swedish countess and first in 1942 married Carl-Herman Bussler (1918-1981); the couple had three children. After Bussler died she became the second wife in 1988 of the also widowed Carl Johan Bernadotte, formerly Prince of Sweden, who had been a childhood friend of hers. Through her marriage to Bernadotte she became nobility also in Luxembourg; in 1951 he had been granted the titles of Prince Bernadotte (which he did not use) and Count of Wisborg by the head of state there, Grand Duchess Charlotte.
