Prince Harald von Hohenzollern of Germany unexpectedly died at the age of 63, just a few weeks before he was ready to welcome his first child. The Prince reportedly died of a sudden cardiac arrest during a business trip to Namibia, where he dealt with the diamond industry New York Post reported.
The tragic news was confirmed by his wife, Princess Josef von Hohenzollern, in a sincere contribution on social media. “My beloved husband Harald v. Hohenzollern died unexpectedly of sudden heart death. This loss will hit me very deep,” she wrote and addressed the citizens of Leonberg, a city in the German state Baden-Württemberg.
Princess Joseph, who is currently looking for re -election as the mayor of Leonberg, shared that she would take a step back from public commitments and social media. “I need time to mourn, farewell and be there for our unborn child,” she said, demanding privacy during this deeply personal time.
The couple married in September 2024 after meeting at the fair two years ago. Josef von Hohenzollern, known locally as the “Mayor of Singing” for her musical performances at cultural events, was first elected as Leonberg’s financial mayor in 2021 and has since become a beloved figure in the community.
Prince Harald belonged to the Hohenzollern History House, a former German royal dynasty with roots dating back to the 11th century. Although the monarchy was abolished after the First World War, two branches of the Hozollern family still hold an aristocratic status in modern Germany. The Prussian line is currently led by Georg Friedrich, Prince Prussia, while Karl Friedrich, Prince Hohenzollern, leads the Swabian line.
Together with her report, Princess Joseph published several personal photographs of her late husband and captured memories of their lives together. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for condolences and support,” she added in honor.
