He became the German Emperor and King of Prussia in 1888, but his reign was short-lived, lasting only 99 days due to his illness. He was the son of William I of Germany and was married to Victoria, Princess Royal, the daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Frederick III was known for his liberal views and desire for political reform. He supported the idea of a constitutional monarchy and aimed to modernize the German Empire. Unfortunately, his health issues prevented him from implementing significant changes during his brief time in power.
