Prince Henry (Heinrich) of Prussia, his family and descendants

[Russka Princess]

i wanted to know how was the relationship between Irene`s sons Waldemar and Sigismund.

Was they both always cloe to each other ? i think they has share room or ?

Was Irene closer to Waldemar than Sigismund ? i think yeah, cause waldemar has the illness like alexej and sigi was the health of them.

Does anyone have photos of Prince Henry in childhood? I looked at this whole entire thread and I haven't come across one. I didn't post at the Having Fun section because a lot of posters doesn't go there. Thank you.

Here s another one. I think he is the kid hugged by Victoria (not sure tho)

That is a photo of CP Frederick and Vicky with their children: Charlotte, Waldemar, Viktoria, Sophie and Margarethe.  Henry and Wilhelm are not in that particular picture.

Irene's sons were close to each other until Waldemar's death. Sigimund later relocated to Middle America to grow coffee, but lost a bundle there. His son Aftred still lives in that area (Costa Rica).

I have a question, I read once the book "Fost and sun myself" from Asta Scheib and in the eighteenth chapter Felix Yussupow (Ehemann of Zinaida Yussupow) with grand duke Nikolas Nikolajewitsch stands spoke. Nikolas rushed about The last czarina Alexandra and about the illness them her son gave.

Nikolas said: "her brother Friedrich has died at the age of three years of the illness, and her sister, princess Irene of Prussia, has brought four critically ill sons on the world!"


I did not know at all Irene four dead sons on the world brought, nevertheless, these were three, and only the oldest one and the latest one suffered from the illness. what is right then now?

Darling "Nikolasha" seems not to have been informed very well

Princess Irene gave brith to three sons - and you are correct about the eldest, Waldemar suffering from hemophilia. The youngest, Heinrich seems to have had it too. I don't know the circumstances of his death tho. Just read a letter from Irene - she sufferd terribly but was very brave about it

[Eric_Lowe]

Sigimund was far from sickly...I don't understand that either.

[Thomas_Hesse]

I think this is due to Mendel's rules.......

[Condecontessa]

I'm confused here. I thought Irene's youngest son, Prince Heinrich died of hemophilia. Am I right?

[Russka Princess]

yeah i think so it too. And many Information say it the same like you.

But i dont know why asta scheib wrote that she has four sons. Has Irene mabe a abortion ? but i dont know it,

[Eric_Lowe]

I think it was not a fact. Irene had three children and 2 survived to marry. Don't understand 4 dead boys mean  

[Cambria_Coheed]

Yeah, Irene only had three sons; Waldemar, Sigismund, and Heinrich and it was only Waldemar and Heinrich that were haemophiliacs...Sigismund was fine.
