John

Prince John (a.k.a. Johann Christian Heinrich Ludwig)

Prince John Christian Henry Louis von Lexington was the second son and third child of Augustus II and Elizabeth, and the younger brother of Crown Prince William and Princess Hortensia. Like William, John originally had a Prussian stylization to his name, going by Johann, until his father's decree in 1818 to Americanize the royal family. John was trained at the United States Royal Naval Academy, obtaining a commission in 1825.
In 1845, he was granted the title of Grand Duke of Philadelphia.
