Synopsis
Excerpt from The International Portrait Gallery
In 1840, on the accession of his brother to the throne, Prince William became heir apparent, and henceforth bore the title of Prince of Prussia. He was immediately appointed Governor of Pomerania, and had several regiments placed under his command. He sat also in the first Diet conked in Prussia, and had considerable influence in the direction of political affairs. But, true to his belief that a king's best reliance is on his regiments, he devoted himself especially to the army, and endeavoured by every means in his power to perfect the discipline of the troops entrusted to him. In the summer of 1844 he visited England, where Baron Bunsen became once more his guide.
