Germany’s Prince Harald passed away suddenly at the age of 63, just days before he was to welcome his first child. He collapsed during a work trip to Namibia, where he was associated with the diamond industry. The heartbreaking news was shared by his wife, Princess Josefa, who is also the mayor of Leonberg. In an emotional message, she described the loss as “deep and unexpected” and announced she would step back from public duties to grieve. Her tribute included touching photos from their brief time together. Known fondly as the “singing mayor” for her cultural performances, Josefa had married into the historic Hohenzollern family, once rulers of the German and Prussian empires. Harald’s death has left a deep void both in royal circles and among the public.
