Figure 1.--Kaisser Wilhelm and the Crowp Prince are seen here in 1907 with the 1-year old Prince Wilhelm wearing a fancy white dress. Also note the little spike of hear that the boy has.

HBRC has relatively little infornmation on how Frederich Wilhelm was dressed as a boy. We do know that as a younger boy he wore dresses. Some of the dresses were styled rather plainly with sailor styling, but others are frilly dresses that could have easily been wore by girls. Some images show his younger brothers wearing Fauntleloy suits and sailor suits, presumably he wore the same outfits as a younger boy. We know that he commonly wore sailor suits. While we have only limited images at this time, photographs presumably exist that will eventually allow us to more fully sketch out what he wore as a boy. We do know that he wore cadet-styled uniforms as a younger teenager, presumably the uniform at the military academy that he attended. He also had formal military uniforms that he worn on special occasions.
