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 in 1916 some republican leaders contemplated giving the throne of an independent Ireland to Prince Joachim.

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.
