    Is this Frederick William Victor Augustus Ernest (German: Friedrich Wilhelm Victor August Ernst) (6 May 1882 – 20 July 1951) of the House of Hohenzollern who was the last Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire?
  • selective rose said:
    It certainly looks like Wilhelm, and near as I can tell he was the only Crown Prince around that time (his brothers just being Princes). But 1910-15 seems a bit late considering lack of moustache and military uniform. Wilhelm was born in 1882 and so would've been 28-33 at that time, with his eldest son (also Wilhelm) already 4 to 9 years old. I suspect this is more what he would've looked like circa 1910. Not at all scientific, but to me this looks more like a 20-year-old lad, circa 1900 or 1905.

    Bain used a lot of older stock photos for their coverage of royalty, see for instance...

    This is a detail from a postcard "Besuch des Prinzen Heinrich im Hauptquartier des Kronprinzen" (Visit of Prince Henry in the headquarter of the Crown Prince)

    Good catch! Here, from another Flickr user, is the next postcard in the series, a closeup of the two at the same site: www.flickr.com/photos/bismarckstiftung/7830899284/ And a clearer capture of the card that Bain cropped above: static3.akpool.de/images/cards/56/563994.jpg

    Thanks to both of you for your excellent research. We'll fill in a bit of the information the next time we update.

    Crown Prince William of Germany was appointed colonel-in-chief of the English 11th Hussars in 1911. See www.nam.ac.uk/research/famous-units/11th-hussars-prince-a...

    There had been an earlier 1st Hussars regiment in the King's German Legion of the British Army during the Napoleonic War, but I haven't found a 1st Hussars. Perhaps the postcard caption has a typo.
  • swanq said:
    www.hussards-photos.com/UK/UK_11_CPA_Kronprinz.htm
    shows this picture under the title "11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars" and has a note, "The postcard wrongly states that he's in the uniform of the "1st Hussars". "
