Talk:Prince Friedrich Karl of Prussia (1828–1885)

Move

Why was the article moved? It seems odd that other royal Prussians (Frederick William III of Prussia etc) continue to have Anglisized names, while this article has been changed. Ruby2010 (talk) 22:58, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

The Red Prince

Arthur Conan Doyle refers to him so in the short story “ A Regimental Scandal”. Is this so? If the fact can be properly sourced, it could improve the article. 98.182.139.2 (talk) 16:30, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

This says it was due to the red hussars uniform he usually wore:

Birthplace

There seems to have been some sort of misunderstanding concerning the exact birthplace. Someone edited it as a "Schloss Klein" in Berlin but being from Berlin myself I never heard of such a palace and checking sources available on the internet the actual place of birth obviously was the Berlin Palace (currently being rebuilt in the city centre) so I corrected this passage. Still I wonder where the idea of a "Schloss Klein" came from. His place of death was Jagdschloss Glienicke (not far from Potsdam) and sometimes you find the place given as Klein Glienicke (which is the settlement next to it), maybe that is where the "Klein" came from. --Proofreader (talk) 20:09, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
