Unidentified German Royalty: Prince Friederich Sigismund von Prussen


Figure 1.--The available postcard image here clearly identifies Prince Friederich Sigismund von Prussen (Prussia) as the eldest son of Prince Leopold von Prussen. The problem is that we are not quite sure who Prince Leopold von Prussen is. The image shows him at about 12 years of age weating a suit with a large slightly rounded stiiff collar and some sort of necktie. We would guess that the portrait was taken about 1910.

The available postcard image claerly identifies Prince Friederich Sigismund von Prussen (Prussia) as the eldest son of Prince Leopold von Prussen. The problem is that we are not quite sure who Prince Leopold von Prussen is. We have found several sons, grandsons, and nephews of William II named Frederich, but none with the added name of Sigismund or Leopold. Thus we are mot ye sure how he fits into the royal family. The available image shows him at about 12 years of age weating a suit with a large slightly rounded stiiff collar and some sort of necktie. He seems to be wearing a sweater unfer his suit jacket. His hair is slicked back with a sharp center part. Any leads readers can offer as to the realtionshop with the royal family would be most appreciated. The image is undated, but we would guess that the portrait was taken about 1910.
