Margrieta III

Margrietta III (Margrietta Agnese Āboliņš Čaklais; born 14 February 1986) is the Queen of Galvia. She ascended the throne after turning 21 on 14 February 2007, replacing her uncle, Prince Arvīds, who had been acting as since 1989.

She is the eldest child and only daughter of Queen Margrietta II, and Prince Valerijs, Duke of Lietus. Her mother died on 17 October 1989 during the Bombing of the Zirnītis Opera House in the city of Sienal when Margrietta was three years old. Upon her mother's death, her uncle, the then Crown Prince Arvīds became heir apparent and ascended the throne on the same day as Crown Regent of Galvia, until Margrietta met the minimum ruling age requirement at the age of 21.

Her ascension to the throne was met with certain controversy as her uncle had been ruling for 18 years, and had benefited from the support and sympathy for the Monarchy from the general public that resulted from his sister's assassination. Margrietta III also replaced her uncle a year after, and was not present for the first year of her grand secretariat Andrejs Lagzdiņš's term. She also was not able to appoint the nobles of her choosing to represent the Crown Capital Territory at the of parliament. Despite of this, she has been regarded as one of the most beloved monarchs in Galvian history, attributed to Margrietta's, openness to the public, and active participation in national politics, uncommon behavior for previous monarchs.

The Queen's heir apparent is Crown Prince Kaspars, the eldest child of the Queen and her husband Olivjē, born in 2009. His sister and brother, Princess Aleksandrīna, and Prince Ēriks, are second and third in line to the throne, respectively. Margrietta is one of two monarchs in Galvian history to have ascended the throne at the minimum ruling age of 21, only second to King Leonārs I, the first ever monarch of the Kingdom of Galvia, who ascended the throne on 3 January 1731.
