Charles, Prince of Brandenburg, was the eldest surviving son of Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, and his first wife, Louise Henriette of Nassau. He died in 1674 aged 19, and his younger brother, Frederick, would go on to become Elector of Brandenburg and King in Prussia.
If Charles had lived, would circumstances end up being different enough that Prussia doesn't become a kingdom, or was it 'inevitable' (inasmuch as such anything in history can be inevitable)? He was said to be like his father - "spirited, quick-tempered and always in favour of war and the hunt."
Any thoughts?
