BERLIN - Princess Felicitas von Preussen, the great-granddaughter of the last German emperor, has died, her family said yesterday. She was 75.

Princess Felicitas died Saturday in Wohltorf, near Hamburg, the family said on its website www.preussen.de. It did not give a cause of death.

Princess Felicitas was born in 1934 in Bonn to Prince Wilhelm von Preussen and his wife, Dorothea von Salviati.

Wilhelm was the son of Crown Prince Wilhelm, the heir of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the last German emperor. Wilhelm II went into exile in the Netherlands after the fall of the monarchy in 1918 following World War I.

Princess Felicitas was married twice and had five children. She was to be buried in Aumuehle, near Hamburg.
