Dutch Royalty. Born William Alexander Frederick Ernst Casimir von Nassau, Prince of the Netherlands at Soesdijk Palace, Brussels, Belgium, the son of Willem II von Nassau, King of the Netherlands and Anna Pavlova Romanov, Grand Duchess of Russia. He apparently suffered from hydrocephalus, which reportedly led to an enlargement of his head and convulsions. He died as a result of his condition at five months of age. He was initially buried in Brussels until 1860 when his body was transferred to the Royal Crypt in the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft, Holland when he was attended by his mother.
