was a Royal Prussian officer during the Great War. He was the son of
Prince Friedrich Karl von Preußen and Maria Anna von Anhalt-Dessau. He headed up the Fourth Cavalry Inspectorate
in 1900, as well as the First Army Inspectorate from 1907 to 1913 as
its headquarters was transferred from Berlin to Danzig. Friedrich Leopold entered the military as a
10-year old cadet in 1875, and by 1893 had been promoted to
Generalmajor and commander of the Garde-du-Corps cavalry regiment in
Berlin. In 1898 he oversaw the Prussian Cavalry Inspectorate in
Potsdam, serving during the Russo-Japanese War as military advisor
within Russian Headquarters. He was ultimately promoted to
Generaloberst in 1910.
