A son for the Louis Ferdinands

February 9, 1939

Princess Louis Ferdinand of Prussia gave birth to a son this evening in Berlin. The former Grand Duchess Kira Kirillovna of Russia married Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, second son of Crown Prince Wilhelm.
The as of yet unnamed Prince is Kaiser Wilhelm's first great-grandson.
Prince Louis Ferdinand is the eventual heir to the Prussian throne as his elder brother, Prince Wilhelm, renounced his rights in 1933 when he married Dorothea von Salviati. Wilhelm and Dorothea have two daughters, Felicitas and Christa.
Mother and son are reported to be doing well at their Berlin home.
