; In 1488 the Emperor Maximilian had sent envoys to Spain to request Juana's hand in marriage for his son, Philip. However, it took until 1495 before an engagement was agreed. It then became a double engagement as Juana's brother, Juan, heir of Aragon and Castile, was betrothed to Philip's sister, Margaret.

Juana's proxy wedding took place in Valladolid in early 1496. Dark-haired and quiet, Juana had been brought up in a devout manner and was two years younger than the 18-year-old Philip. Her ship landed in Arnemuiden in September 1496 but Philip was in Austria on behalf of his father. It took until the middle of October before they met.

Juana immediately fell in love with Philip who was known as 'the Handsome'. Unable to wait, a dean was found to marry them quietly and that night the marriage was consummated. On 20 October 1496 they were again married with pomp and in public. Although their marriage was passionate, it also brought despair to the unstable Juana.

On 16 November 1498 their first child was born, Eleanor, who would become Queen of Portugal and France. However, Philip started to lose interest in his devout, ever passionate but possessive wife and became promiscuous. Nevertheless, on 24 February 1500, their first son, the future Emperor Charles V, was born.

However, much less fortunate was Juana's only brother, Juan, who, in 1496 had married Margaret of Austria, as he died only six months after their marriage. Juana's eldest sister Isabel, Queen of Portugal, was now heir of Castile and Aragon but died giving birth to a son, Miguel, but who lived for only two years, which made Juana heir of her parents.

Juana and Philip were then pressured to come to Spain to take the Oath of the Cortes, obligatory to all heirs. In 1501, when another daughter was born to them, Juana became depressed, neurotic and highly hysterical. In November 1501 they went via France to Spain, leaving their children behind. While at Blois they met the French king with whom Philip went falconing and played tennis.

By Easter 1502 they reached Madrid and soon Philip's men began to dislike the highly religious Spaniards. Also on their way to Toledo from Madrid, Philip contracted measles. While recovering at Olias, Juana's father arrived to an enthusiastic welcome from her. A week later they all went to Toledo to be joined by Juana's mother, the formidable Isabella.

Soon they received the news that, first, Prince Arthur of England, husband of the youngest Spanish Infanta, had died; and second, the death of an uncle of King Ferdinand. The court went into mourning with vigour and, with Juana again pregnant, Philip was bored and so went hunting and playing chess with his father-in-law.

Philip wanted to return to The Netherlands but it took until October before they were summoned to take the Oath. However, the Cortes would only accept Philip as Juana's consort, and then only during her lifetime. Philip then was left to preside over the Cortes who wanted to discuss war with Philip's friend, the King of France.

By now Philip had had enough. He insisted on returning to The Netherlands, even if it meant leaving the heavily pregnant Juana behind. When told, Juana was hurt and lost control of herself. Nevertheless Philip still left and their son, Ferdinand, was born, 10 March 1503, at Alcala de Henares.

Philip, realising that Juana could be manipulated by her parents, wrote asking her to come. On receiving this letter Juana went into ecstasy and, in the weeks that followed, the next stage of her madness appeared. When her mother suggested she stay in Spain, she went into violent rages and left on bad terms with her mother.

When Juana arrived in Brussels she objected violently to Philip's new mistress and, in a fury, cut off the hair of the terrified girl. From now on Juana and Philip continually argued. At the end of 1504 the news arrived of the death of Juana's mother, which should make Juana Queen of Castile. However, as Philip wanted Castile for himself, Ferdinand, aware of Juana's instability, had the Cortes make himself regent.

Philip wrote first to Ferdinand, telling him to get out of Castile, and then to the Cortes advising them that Philip and Juana, the rightful queen, were on their way to Spain. Ferdinand then married again, hoping to father a son who would then be heir of Aragon, and so split Spain into two. After giving birth to another daughter, Juana was very ill.

In January 1506 Juana and Philip set out by ship. Soon they were hit by a storm and forced to land in England. Henry VII welcomed them and invited them to Windsor where they stayed for over two months, during which Juana again became pregnant.

Once arrived in Spain, Philip made himself popular and Ferdinand was forced to accept Philip and Juana as souvereigns of Castile, and, conceding that Juana was unable to rule, accepted Philip as actual ruler. Nevertheless, Philip was unable to convince the Cortes of Juana's madness. But then fate took a hand when, in September, there was a terrible heatwave. Philip had been playing his favourite game of 'pelota' and, perspiring profusely, asked for cold water but began to feel unwell. The following day, although feverish, he still went hunting. After three days a chill set in. On the fourth day he was spitting blood, the six-months pregnant Juana spending most of her time with him.

Philip was only twenty-eight when he died on 24 September 1506, which completely unhinged Juana. On 14 January 1507 she gave birth to their last daughter, Catharina. Juana had been told of a prince who had come to life after fourteen years in the grave, and so she watched over Philip's open coffin for fourteen years. As well, she would even travel around with the coffin, opening it at night.3

; per Leo van de Pas: " As a young man he was inseparable from his youngest brother, Ernst August. In 1653 they made their first visit to Heidelberg while on their way to Venice. It was said that they were looking for brides but, according to Elizabeth, the Electress Palatine, 'people went to Venice for whores, not wives'. It was during this visit to Heidelberg that the two brothers met the Electress's daughter, Sophie.

A respectful petition had been sent to Georg Wilhelm, asking him to marry. His people offered him a handsome increase in revenue but Georg Wilhelm valued his freedom more. While asking for more money, he wrote to the Elector Palatine and enquired after Sophie. On his annual journey to Venice, accompanied by Ernst August, he again called in at Heidelberg. A marriage contract was drawn up and signed but kept secret so that Georg Wilhelm would have more bargaining power with his Estates. Then the two Dukes moved on to Venice.

However, Georg Wilhelm changed his mind. Marriage was not for him. An increase in his allowance enabled him to provide for his brother, Ernst August, who would then also take Sophie as his bride, their children becoming his heirs. He even promised never to marry and, after bribing another younger brother, Johann Friedrich, achieved his aim.

On 30 September 1658, Ernst August and Sophie married and afterwards, when Georg Wilhelm would pay Sophie too much attention, Ernst August became jealous. Nevertheless, when it was time to go to Venice, all three went; but halfway Sophie returned alone to Hannover. However, on a visit to The Hague Georg Wilhelm fell in love and when, in March 1665, their eldest brother, Christian Ludwig, lay dying, he was criticised for spending too much time with Eléonore d'Olbreuse instead of rushing to his brother who wanted to talk with him. As a result, Johann Friedrich was able to lay hold of estates which should have been inherited by Georg Wilhelm. It took till August 1665 before all was settled and Georg Wilhelm became the Duke of Brunswick-Celle.

As he had vowed never to marry, on 15 September 1665, he signed a contract with Eléonore securing her finances and making her 'Frau von Harburg'. A year later a daughter was born and, on 20 December 1675, he married Eléonore and legitimised their daughter. In May 1675 both Georg Wilhelm and Ernst August fought against the French and, in August 1675, defeated the Maréchal de Crequi at Conz-Saarbrücken."3

; Leo van de Pas cites: The Royal House of Stuart London, 1969,1971,1976. , A. C. Addington.4 He was Duke von Braunschweig-Lüneburg.3

; per Leo van de Pas: "The first British-born monarch since Queen Anne, he was the second child of the Prince of Wales. He was educated by Lord Harcourt and the Bishop of Norwich. Only twelve years old, he lost his father and became his grandfather's heir, and king at twenty-two.

His first love was Lady Sarah Lennox but, regarding her unsuitable, he decided on and married the German Princess Charlotte von Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She came to England and was crowned with him. They would become the parents of fifteen children.

In 1764 the first attack of porphyria occurred. When he recovered he insisted on a law which would allow him to make Queen Charlotte, or any other member of the royal family, Regent in case the illness returned. The unsuitable marriages of two of his brothers led to the passage of the Royal Marriages Act in 1772. The American War of Independence distressed him greatly and, in 1789 porphyria returned more seriously to last for over three months.

The French Revolution created even more concern and several attempts on his life were made. The last ten years of his reign involved England in the Napoleonic wars. His eyesight was failing and the death of his favourite daughter, Amelia, started the last attack of porphyria---and this time he never recovered.

The Regency Act was passed and his eldest son, George (IV), became Regent for ten years. His last years were spent at Windsor, blind, deaf and mad. He was unaware of his wife's death though he himself did not die till two years later.

Porphyria: a group of rare, inherited disorders caused by a flaw in the metabolism of porphyrins, the breakdown products of the red blood pigment. The condition may be in the liver (hepatic porphyria) or in the bone marrow (erythropoiryic porphyria) or both. Characteristic features of the defect are discoloration of the urine, which may turn dark brown if let standing for an hour or so; sensitivity to sunlight, which causes blistering skin rashes; bouts of abdominal pain; mental disturbances; and neuritis.

The underlying genetic fault cannot be corrected, and there is no specific treatment."4 He was King of Great Britain and Ireland between 1760 and 1820.2,3 He was King of Hanover between 12 October 1814 and 1820.2,3,4

     Charlotte Sophie (?) Dss von Mecklenburg-Strelitz was born on 19 May 1744 at Mirow.1,3,2,4,5 She married George III (?) King of Great Britain, Ireland and Hannover, son of Frederick Lewis (?) Prince of Wales and Augusta (?) Princess of Saxe-Gotha, Duchess of Saxony, on 8 September 1761 at St. Jame's Palace, London, City of London, Greater London, England.1,2,4,3,9,5

Charlotte Sophie (?) Dss von Mecklenburg-Strelitz died on 17 November 1818 at Kew Palace, London, City of London, Greater London, England, at age 74.1,4,2,3,5
      ; per Leo van de Pas: "Probably encouraged by his mother, King George III selected Charlotte as his bride. Only seventeen years old, she set out for England. On the journey she practised 'God Save the King' on her harpsichord while her attendants were seasick.

Charlotte has been described as dim and formidably ugly. While regretting her plainness, George III, a sensual man but with a high moral sense, did his 'duty', thereby producing fifteen children of which only two boys died in childhood. Even though Charlotte was interested only in domestic matters and exercised no political influence, their marriage reduced George III's dependance on the Earl of Bute.

George III was an affectionate but unwise father, not wanting his six daughters to marry. However, if rather late, three escaped 'the nunnery'. With the exception of the Duke of York, their sons were reluctant to find suitable brides. It was only financial pressure which made the Prince of Wales (George IV) accept his most unsuitable first cousin, Caroline of Brunswick.

When the Duke of Cumberland proposed and, in 1815, married Queen Charlotte's niece, the Queen was most upset. Friederike von Mecklenburg-Strelitz, it was rumoured, had poisoned one husband, Prince Ludwig of Prussia, rejected the offer of marriage from the Duke of Cambridge (another son of George III and Charlotte) and was already pregnant when she married her second husband, Prince Friedrich zu Solms-Braunfels.

After the onset of his illness, then misunderstood as madness, George III was placed in the care of his wife, who could not bring herself to visit him very often. Queen Charlotte had become the fond grandmother of Princess Charlotte of Wales, and it was a great blow to her when this granddaughter died in childbirth. It was this death that started the undignified scramble of George III's middle-aged sons to find wives. The Duke of Clarence (William IV), aged 53, married Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, aged 27; the Duke of Kent, aged 50, married the widowed Viktoria of Saxe-Saalfeld, aged 31; the Duke of Cambridge, aged 44, married the 20-year-old Auguste of Hessen-Kassel. A year after her granddaughter Charlotte's death, Queen Charlotte died seated in a small armchair holding the hand of her eldest son."5

     Karl Ludwig Friedrich (?) Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was born on 23 February 1708 at Strelitz, Mecklenburg, Germany (now).3,2 He married Elisabeth Albertina (?) Pss of Saxe-Hildburghausen, Duchess of Saxony, daughter of Ernest Frederick I (?) Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen, on 5 February 1735 at Eisfeld, Germany (now).1,3,4,2

Karl Ludwig Friedrich (?) Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz died on 5 June 1752 at Mirow, Germany (now), at age 44.3,2
      ; per Leo van de Pas: "He was born at Strelitz on 23 February 1708 but resided at Mirow where he died aged forty-four on 4 June 1752. In February 1735 he married Elisabeth Albertine of Saxe-Hildburghausen, by whom he became the father of ten children. Karl's elder half-brother, Adolf Friedrich III, was the ruling Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz who died childlessly only six months after Karl. This made Karl's third child the next ruling Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz as Adolf Friedrich IV. However, as he was a minor, it was his mother who acted on his behalf. Elisabeth Albertine was regent until only 1753 when her son finished his studies and took control of the Duchy himself. She died eight years later and, less than two months after her death, her daughter Charlotte Sophie married King George III of Great Britain."2 He was Duke von Mecklenburg-Strelitz.5,2

; per Leo van de Pas: "The fifth child and fourth son of King George III, it appears that, with his brothers, the Dukes of York and Sussex, he displayed symptoms of porphyria. He went into the army but proved to be too severe a disciplinarian, causing trouble wherever he was in command. After a mutiny in Gibraltar, he was recalled but nevertheless was gazetted field-marshal the following year.

He was the baldest of the whole family and Sheridan suggested that this was because grass did not grow upon deserts. The Duke remarked when he heard this joke, 'If Sheridan means that I haven't genius, I can tell him that such a gift would have been of small value to a Prince, whose business it is to keep quiet. I am luckier in having, like my country, a sound constitution.'

Like his brothers he had trouble to live within his income. To make ends meet he went to live in Brussels for several years, accompanied by his mistress, Madame St.Laurent. When his brother's daughter and heir died in 1817, he joined the scramble to provide an heir for the nation. In 1818, after twenty-seven years together, he broke with Madame St.Laurent. The Duke is recorded to have said, 'You may well imagine the pang it will occasion me to part with her'. Little is known about this Julie de St.Laurent other than she left Marseille in 1790 to join Edward in Malaga and stayed with him until 1818; she was rumoured to have had children by him and even to be his morganatic wife.

However, the Duke of Kent married the widowed Princess Viktoria of Leiningen and their daughter, the future Queen Victoria, was born in 1819. Edward wanted the names Alexandrina Georgina but his brother, the Prince-Regent, vetoed Georgina, perhaps to embarrass the brother he disliked as much as he disliked his brother's wife. And so the Regent decided she would be named Alexandrina Victoria, Alexandrina in honour of the Russian Emperor and Victoria after her mother.

Being married and the father of a child, he was still plagued with financial worries. Again he decided to return to the continent to save money, but first Christmas was to be spent in Sidmouth, Devon. Edward visited the nearby Cathedral of Salisbury and caught a cold. When his cold became worse he stayed in bed and soon it became clear he was not going to recover. His wife, nursing him, was asked 'Do not forget me'. The Duke of Kent died of pneumonia, January 23rd, 1820. His father, dying six days later, was buried with him at the same time in the family vault at Windsor. All he left was an enormous debt."4

; per Leo van de Pas: "When only 17-years-old she married her first husband, the childless widower of her mother's youngest sister. No doubt this was not as good a match as her sisters': Antoinette, who had married Duke Alexander of Wurttemberg; and Juliane, who married the Russian Grand Duke Constantine. But at least it was better than that of Sofie who, three months later, married Count Emanuel von Mensdorff-Pouilly.

Eleven years later her husband died, leaving her a widow with a son, Carl, and a daughter, Feodora. In 1816 her brother, Leopold, married Charlotte, the daughter and heir of the British king George IV. Leopold and Charlotte urged Charlotte's uncle, the Duke of Kent, to visit Viktoria in Wald-Leiningen. This was not for the British succession but for the Duke's need of an income which would be given to him once married---and the thirty-year-old Viktoria needed a husband.

Not in a hurry to press matters, the Duke was annoyed when his courting became known. He quickly wrote to Leopold asking him to press his sister to make up her mind. The Duke of Kent felt guilty about the discarding of his mistress of many years but was happy when, on 25 January 1818, Viktoria accepted him. They married on 29 May 1818. In the following year their daughter, the future Queen Victoria, was born. But shortly after that she lost her second husband and would be the Dowager Duchess of Kent for another forty-one years.

Viktoria realised the importance of bringing Victoria up in England as she was next in line for the throne. Her brother, Leopold, gave her an allowance of 3,000 pounds a year, and, in 1825, the English parliament gave her another annuity of 6,000 pounds. In 1830, the Regency Act named the Duchess as regent in case Victoria would be a minor when called to the throne.

The Duchess of Kent had tried to alienate Victoria from her uncle, William IV, and then tried the same thing with this king's illegitimate children. The Duchess and William IV didn't like each other and, at the king's birthday dinner, he publicly insulted the Duchess, referring to her 'evil advisers'. The Duchess relied heavily upon Sir John Conroy, who had been her deceased husband's equerry, and allowed him to dominate her household. Conroy caused an open rift between mother and daughter and, after Victoria's accession to the throne, was generously pensioned off though completely disregarded. The new Queen Victoria at first showed more affection for the Dowager-Queen Adelaide than for her own mother. This was mainly due to Viktoria having been dominated by Conroy.

After a while the Duchess required permission to see her daughter but often received a note 'Busy', declining a meeting. This made the Duchess angry as she wanted to see her child, not the Queen. However, Conroy remained with the Duchess which for a long period cooled the relationship between mother and daughter. Victoria's behaviour towards Conroy gave credence to the untrue story of Conroy having an affaire with the Duchess of Kent.

At the time of the birth of Leopold, the future Duke of Albany and the Duchess of Kent's youngest grandson, haemophilia appeared in the Royal family. Previously it had not existed in the House of Hannover, nor in that of the Duchess's own family, so it was now presumed to have been a spontaneous mutation in Queen Victoria's genes. Leopold was a sufferer and three of his sisters would transmit the disease to the generations following.

In March 1861 she was operated on for an abscess on her arm and, after a short period, it became clear her condition was desperate. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert came to her and, during her last night, Queen Victoria came in to her room several times to check on her. However, the Duchess of Kent died early in the morning.

During her last years, mother and daughter had been much closer to each other. Queen Victoria had a nervous breakdown when her mother died, partly because she probably realized, when going through her mother's papers, how much her mother had loved her."4

; per Leo van de Pas: " She was a most remarkable woman, with a most powerful, energetic, almost masculine mind, accompanied with great tenderness of heart and extreme love for Nature.

She was adored by her children, particularly by her sons, King Leopold of Belgium being her great favourite. She had fine and most expressive blue eyes, with the marked features and long nose inherited by most of her children and grandchildren. Both Prince Albert and his brother were exceedingly attached to their grandmother and they lived much with her in their younger days, as Queen Victoria recollected in 'The Early Years of the Prince Consort'.

Augusta was a daughter of the Count of Reuss-Ebersdorf, a family in which all males bore the name of Heinrich and, as counts, were inferior in rank to the ducal house of Saxony. She married Franz, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, in 1777 when the Emperor had installed a Debt and Administrative Commission or receivership because of the virtual bankruptcy of the Duchy of Coburg. Duchess Augusta's parents were 'Herrnhuter'. Her father's aunt Erdmutha Dorothea had married Nicholas Ludwig, Graf von Zinzendorf, on whose estate at Herrnhut the Moravians found sanctuary and organized their missionary activity from there to all continents, while Countess Erdmutha, who administered the estate in her husband's frequent missionary absences, also composed hymns. This background accounted for Duchess Augusta's strong piety and often narrow, moral views which she imparted in large measure, like her physical features, to Prince Albert. Her experiences in the Napoleonic period imbued her with strong anti-French resentments. She gave expression to these in her attitude to Madame Panam, her son Ernst I's French mistress of Greek origin, with disastrous results for him.

The Duchess, widowed in 1806, lived at Ketschendorf near Coburg. She visited her son Leopold at Claremont in 1825. Queen Victoria met her then and remembered her grandmother clearly.

Victoria (Alexandrina) (?) Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India died on 22 January 1901 at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, England, at age 81.1,3,4
      ; Queen Alexandrina VICTORIA, succeeded William IV as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland (1837-1901), and was proclaimed Empress of India (1.1.1877-1901), *Kensington Palace 24.5.1819, +Osborne House, Isle of Wight 22.1.1901, bur Royal Mausoleum, Frogmore; m.St.James's Palace 10.2.1840 Pr Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, cr Pr Consort 1857 (*26.8.1819 +14.12.1861.)3

; per Leo van de Pas: "Just eighteen when she succeeded her uncle, William IV, she became Queen of Great Britain and Ireland in 1837. On 28 June 1838 she was crowned at Westminster and one of her first acts was to distance herself from her mother and her mother's advisor, Sir John Conroy. Soon it became obvious that she had a clear grasp of constitutional principles and the scope of her own prerogatives. Maintaining constant correspondence with her uncle and mentor, King Leopold I of Belgium, she was devoted to her first Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. In 1839 when Melbourne's government fell and Victoria refused to dismiss the current ladies of the bedchamber, Peel resigned and Melbourne returned until 1841, becoming both prime minister and trusted friend to Victoria.

When her two Saxe-Coburg cousins came to England, she fell in love with the younger, Prince Albert. Married in 1840, nine children were produced with all surviving. In the early years of her reign she was strongly influenced by her husband with whom she lived and worked in the closest harmony. Consequently, on Albert's death when she was in her early forties, she was so grief-stricken that she withdrew from all public life which made her temporarily unpopular.

However, Disraeli then achieved having her acknowledged as Empress of India and this returned her to her subject's favour. Both experienced and shrewd, her political flair brought a powerful influence to bear on the conduct of foreign affairs. This, in turn, was made easier through the marriage alliances of some of her children into foreign dynasties.

Although she preferred ministers with conservative principles, such as Melbourne and Disraeli, rather than the more radical, such as Palmerston and Gladstone, in the long run Victoria's judgment of men and events was rarely to be faulted. Partly due to the influence of Prince Albert, she preferred Germany, which was probably the reason later for her son-and-heir's own preference for France.

Even though she remained in seclusion for most of her life, she never allowed her heir 'Bertie' any involvement in state affairs, and this was no doubt the cause of the numerous misadventures in which, sometimes not of his own doing, he was involved. Had Victoria been unpopular in her early years because of the sad affair of the unmarried lady-in-waiting Flora Hastings (whose flatulence from stomach-cancer made her suspect of being pregnant), Bertie became entangled in divorce-cases and gambling scandals. Yet Victoria always stood by him.

Although also fond of her grandson, the German Emperor Wilhelm II; she also considered that 'fresh blood' to be needed in her family. Consequently she allowed the Battenberg-marriages for, first, a granddaughter and then her youngest daughter, Beatrice. Partly because of princely alliances being expensive, she had previously allowed her daughter Louise to marry the future Duke of Argyll, and then yet another granddaughter, also another Louise, to marry Alexander Duff whom she made Duke of Fife."4

      ; per Leo van de Pas: "She married her first cousin who loved her all his life. However, when he was affected by porphyria she pretended that she feared him, even though he would never hit her nor any officer, though anyone else was fair game. She also disliked the simple life he had forced upon her, for as a Queen she expected a court, and moreover, a Court which held many balls.

She liked to gossip, was a bore and a snob and, as the daughter of an English king, looked down on the Hohenzollerns. She turned her children against their father and created in her own apartments a far more civilized environment which her children loved. She indulged in politics and her main aim was for the 'English marriages', specifically that her children, Wilhelmine and Friedrich, would be married to the Prince of Wales and Princess Amelia. However, neither took place as her husband opposed them for the simple reason that the two fathers loathed each other. Lord Hervey described the feelings of George II for his sister as 'he had the contempt for her she deserved and a hatred she did not deserve'.

One positive thing about her was her attempts to have her mother, the Prisoner of Ahlden, released; and in this she almost succeeded. However, she was no support to either her husband or children. After her husband's death, she retired to the small palace of Montbijou in Berlin. Even though her son, the new king, visited her almost daily, she had no political influence."4

     Augustus Wilhelm (?) Prince of Prussia was born on 9 August 1722 at Berlin, Saxony, Germany (now).1,2,3,4 He married Luise Amalie (?) Princess of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, daughter of Ferdinand Albrecht II (?) Duke of Brunschweig-Wolfenbütel and Antoinette Amelie (?) Princess von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, on 6 January 1742 at Berlin, Saxony, Germany (now).1,2,3,6,7,4

Augustus Wilhelm (?) Prince of Prussia died on 12 June 1758 at Oranienburg, Saxony, Germany (now), at age 35.1,2,3,4
      ; Born in 1722 he was his parent's eleventh child and second son to survive. He was also ten years younger than Friedrich, the future Frederick the Great. Friedrich, according to their father, liked anything French too much and as a result preferred four-year-old August Wilhelm. Their father, Friedrich Wilhelm I, maintained that: 'I wouldn't put much money on any of my children but I think this one will be a gentleman.' It was even rumoured that Friedrich Wilhelm I wanted to disinherit Friedrich in favour of August Wilhelm.

In 1740 their father died and as a result Friedrich II became Prussia's new king. In 1741 Friedrich II was advancing into Silesia when, the night before the battle, he realised that he might meet his death. He wrote to August Wilhelm, as he was his heir: 'I recommend to you, in dying, those whom I loved the most in life: Keyserling, Jordan, Wartensleben, Hacke who is a very honest man, Fredersdorf and Eichel in whom you can have confidence. Do not forget a brother who has loved you tenderly.'

On 6 January 1742 August Wilhelm married Princess Luise of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and they produced four children. In 1744 Friedrich II gave August Wilhelm Wusterhausen as a home. The ten surviving brothers and sisters were unusually close but August Wilhelm surrounded himself by the elements of Berlin society hostile to Friedrich II. Although the king continued to love his brother, he nevertheless kept an eye on his friends. In return August Wilhelm resented some of Friedrich II's generals and, by ignoring the advice of Winterfeldt, caused Zittau to be destroyed by their enemies.

In June 1758 Friedrich II was besieging Olmütz when, on the 16th, he told Henri de Catt that he always dreaded the 18th of June and that he had dreamt seeing his father with Princess Wilhelmine and Prince August Wilhelm. On the 18th of June a messenger arrived with the news that August Wilhelm had died on the 12th of June. When the king asked 'What of?' the reply was 'Of grief'. The king cried bitterly maintaining that August Wilhelm had made things difficult for him but blaming his friends.

The post-mortem showed that the thirty-five-year-old prince had a tumour on the brain. On 14 October 1758 their sister Wilhelmine died.4
