Hubertus Karel Wilhelm van Prussia (Potsdam, September 20, 1909 - Windhoek, South West Africa, April 8, 1950) was a Prussian prince from the Hohenzollern House.
He was the third son of the last German crown prince Wilhelm and his wife Cecilie van Mecklenburg-Schwerin. After the collapse of the German Empire, Hubertus drew with his parents, younger brother and two sisters, and to Oels, in Silesia, where the family lived in a small country house. Hubertus joined the army in 1934 and participated in the German invasion in Poland in 1939. In 1940 his older brother Wilhelm returned to the invasion of France. Hitler then decided on the so-called Prinzenerlas. The adherence to the fallen Hohenzollern prince had been so great that he feared that the monarchists would win the wind if more prince were to fall. Hubertus had to withdraw from the army.
By now, Hubertus was married twice. First with Baroness Maria von Humboldt-Dachroeden, whom he divorced two years after their marriage, later with Magdalena van Reuß, with whom he received two daughters.
After the Second World War, he and his family had to leave their possessions in East Prussia. They settled on one of the so-called crown domains in Southwest Africa. There the prince died in 1950, after a failed operation on the small intestine.
