The couple lived together in Munich, but separated due to their different interests in life in 1990 (although they are still married). Princess Birgitta lives on the island Mallorca in Spain since that time, while Prince "Hansi" (his nickname) still lives in Munich and is the director of a museum.
Princess Birgitta performs a lot of assignments for golf and charity (not in Sweden), and is a Honorary Board Member of The Royal Swedish Golf Society (which she took over when Prince Bertil passed away). She has her own golf competition in Majorca, "The Princess Birgitta Trophy" at her home golf course. She participates in the celebrations of the Swedish Lucia every year, and also the party held at her golf club on Sweden’s National Day.
Princess Birgitta's marriage to Prince "Hansi" has produced three children:
- HSH Prince Carl Christian of Hohenzollern
- HSH Princess Désirée of Hohenzollern
- HSH Prince Hubertus of Hohenzollern
