Prince Henry Victor Louis Frederick of Prussia (German:Heinrich Viktor Ludwig Friedrich; 9 January 1900 – 26 February 1904), was the third son and youngest child ofPrince Henry of Prussia andPrincess Irene of Hesse and by Rhine. He was a grandson ofFrederick III, German Emperor, through his father and a great-grandson ofQueen Victoria. He died at the age of four after hishemophilia exacerbated ahead injury.

Prince Heinrich was born on 9 January 1900, inKiel. His father was pleased by the birth of yet another son, especially such a handsome one, as the Prince had blonde hair.^{[citation needed]} The newborn Prince immediately received the titlePrince of Prussia with the styleRoyal Highness, and was baptisedHeinrich Viktor Ludwig Friedrich inKiel Castle on 15 March 1900.^[1] His older brothers werePrince Waldemar, a namesake of hisuncle, andPrince Sigismund, a namesake of his other deceaseduncle. Heinrich was named in honour of his father. The Prince was diagnosed withhaemophilia as a young child, but, despite this, was a very cheerful and lively boy who liked to play a lot. As Henry grew older he became more aware of his condition.

On 25 February,Princess Irene left Heinrich unsupervised for a few minutes while she went to fetch something. The playful Prince climbed a chair, and then he climbed onto the table. As he heard his mother approaching, he attempted to quickly come down but stumbled while attempting to climb down the chair and fell on the floor headfirst. He started to scream, which immediately attracted the Princess' attention. By the time she reached him, the child was almost unconscious. The doctor said the fall had not been that bad and the child would have survived had he not been ahaemophiliac. However, experiencing this condition, it was certain the young Prince would die. He was experiencing abrain haemorrhage. He lingered for a couple of hours, but died the following day, on 26 February. He was four years old.

Prince Heinrich's premature death would later very much affect thePrincess, who would withdraw into herself. One of his older brothers,Prince Waldemar, also hadhaemophilia. He lived up to the age of 56 and was married, without children. The middle sibling,Prince Sigismund, was unaffected by the disease.
