Prince Joachim Franz Humbert of Prussia (17 December 1890-18 July 1920) was the youngest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, by his first wife, Duchess Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein.
During the Easter Rising in Dublin, Ireland in 1916 some republican leaders contemplated giving the throne of an independent Ireland to Prince Joachim.[1]
He died in Potsdam, Germany of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, unable to accept his lot after his father's abdication and the failure of his marriage to Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt, whom he married on March 11, 1916. They had one son.
- Prince Karl Franz Josef Wilhelm Friedrich Eduard of Prussia (December 15, 1916–22 January 1975 in Chile) married Princess Henriette of Schönaich-Carolath, the daughter of Wilhelm's second wife, on October 5, 1940. They divorced in 1946 having had three children. He married twice more, and had two daughters by his third wife.
