Prince dies suddenly aged 63 just days ahead of welcoming first child as his heartbroken wife pays tribute

A PRINCE has tragically died just days before the birth of his first child while on a work trip to the diamond industry in Africa.

Prince Harald von Hohenzollern, a 63-year-old German aristocrat, died suddenly just nine months after marrying Princess Josefa von Hohenzollern, 51.

He is believed to have died after suffering a heart attack in Namibia, where he was involved in the diamond industry.

Josefa, heavily pregnant, shared the heartbreaking news with a tribute on social media.

She posted a touching collage of photos of the pair together.

Josefa, who is currently campaigning for re-election as the mayor of Leonberg, a town in southwestern Germany, has announced that she will be taking a break from the campaign to mourn a personal loss.

She wrote: “Dear fellow citizens of Leonberg, today I am writing with a heavy heart.

“My beloved husband Harald v. Hohenzollern died quite unexpectedly of a sudden cardiac death. This loss hits me very deep.

Expressing the need for time to grieve, bid farewell, and support her unborn child, Josefa shared that she will temporarily withdraw from both campaigning activities and social media engagement in the upcoming days.

“I hope for your understanding during this time off and thank you from the bottom of my heart at this point for your condolences and support.”

However, Josefa said she would continue with her candidacy as it would have been in her late husband’s best interests.

Harald’s House of Hohenzollern lineage is a former German royal dynasty that dates all the way back to 1061.

Josefa became a princess when she married Harald back in September 2024 in her hometown, Kollnburg.

The pair reportedly met two years before that at a trade fair.

Josefa is known as the “singing mayor” for her love of music and cultural events.
