Prince Friedrich of Hesse and by Rhine (Friedrich Wilhelm August Victor Leopold Ludwig; 7 October 1870 – 29 May 1873) was a member of the House of Hesse-Darmstadt and a grandson of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.

Early Life

Prince Friedrich, known as "Frittie" within his family, was born on 7 October 1870 at the Neues Palais in Darmstadt, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Hesse. He was the third child and first son of Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse, and his wife, Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, the second daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

Hemophilia

Prince Friedrich was diagnosed with hemophilia, a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding. This condition was passed down from his mother, Princess Alice, who was a carrier of the hemophilia gene, which she inherited from her mother, Queen Victoria. Hemophilia was a significant concern for the royal families of Europe, as it affected several of Queen Victoria's descendants.

Death

On 29 May 1873, Prince Friedrich fell from a window at the family's residence, the Neues Palais. Despite efforts to save him, he succumbed to internal bleeding due to his hemophilia. His death was a devastating blow to his family, particularly to his mother, Princess Alice, who never fully recovered from the loss.

Legacy

Prince Friedrich's short life and tragic death highlighted the impact of hemophilia on European royal families. His story is often cited in discussions about the genetic transmission of the disorder and its historical implications.

Ancestry

Prince Friedrich was a member of the House of Hesse-Darmstadt, a cadet branch of the House of Hesse. His ancestry included notable figures such as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, linking him to many of the royal families of Europe.
