Prince George William of Hanover (Georg Wilhelm Ernst August Friedrich Axel Prinz von Hannover; 25 March 1915 – 8 January 2006) was the second-eldest son of Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick, and his wife Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia, the only daughter of Wilhelm II, German Emperor, and Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein. George William's wife was a sister of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and his children are thus first cousins of King Charles III. His sister, Frederica, became Queen of the Hellenes as the consort of King Paul of Greece. He held the title of Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, granted ad personam to the children of the then-Duke of Brunswick by George V's letters patent of 1914, which remained unrevoked.
