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 is pursuing re-election as the mayor of Leonberg, a town in southwestern Germany, but she announced that she would be taking a break from campaigning to mourn.

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.

“I require time to mourn, bid farewell, and support our unborn child. Therefore, I will be withdrawing from campaigning and social media 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.
