Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig, Prince of Prussia (18 January 1726 - 3 August 1802), commonly known as Prince Henry of Prussia, was the younger brother of king Frederick II of Prussia. His conflicts with his famous brother are almost legendary.
Heinrich successfully led Prussian armies during the Seven Years' War, and spent much of his time in Rheinsberg. On 25 June 1752 he married Landgravine Wilhelmine of Hesse-Kassel in Charlottenburg, but they had no children.
In 1786, a group of Americans led by Alexander Hamilton sent word to Henry asking that he become King of the United States. [citation needed] This offer was revoked before the prince could make a reply.
