Prince Wilhelm, often referred to as Prince Wilhelm of Germany, was a member of the German royal family born on March 6, 1882. He was the son of Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm and Crown Princess Victoria, making him a grandson of Emperor Wilhelm I. Wilhelm served in the German military during World War I and held various ceremonial roles throughout his life. After the war, the German monarchy was abolished, leading to significant changes in Wilhelm's status. He lived in exile for many years, primarily in Switzerland, and later moved to Germany. Wilhelm passed away on July 20, 1951, leaving behind a legacy tied to the tumultuous history of the German Empire.
