: Prince Henry of Prussia was the second son
: of Crown Prince Frederick William, later
: Emperor Frederick III, and the Crown
: Princess, later Empress Frederick. As a
: youth he joined the imperial German navy,
: and travelled widely throughout Asia and the
: Americas. An easygoing character, renowned
: for his interest in motoring and aviation as
: well as nautical matters, he was much more
: popular with his royal and imperial cousins
: throughout Europe than his elder brother,
: Emperor William II. Yet his love of England,
: and reluctance to contemplate the
: possibility of hostilities between Germany
: and England, is thought to have led to his
: convincing the Emperor that the English
: would remain neutral as the likelihood of
: war became increasingly inevitable in 1914.
: This is the first biography in English of an
: often-overlooked prince.
