On 2 September 1704, she married
Christian August of Holstein-Gottorp, Prince of Eutin
.
In 1726, her husband died, and her eldest son became monarch. One year later, he died childless and her youngest son, Adolf Frederick, ascended the throne. Adolf Frederick was a minor, but was allowed to govern "with his mother's support" and guidance.

She also gave him her estates Stendorf, Monch-Neversdorf and Lenzahn to provide him with an income.

Through her paternal grandmother,
Countess Palatine Christina Magdalena of Zweibrucken
, a sister of King
Charles X of Sweden
, Albertina Frederica descended from the Swedish royal house, which is why her son in 1743 could be elected as the heir to the Swedish throne.
