Friederike Luise. Had porphyria (like nephew George III, possibly). Had an awful marriage.
Philippine Charlotte>. Charlotte, see above. The marriage was mostly okay. (Her husband, btw, was the brother of Elisabeth Christine, aka Fritz' not-even-a-beard wife.)
Sophia Dorothea (the 3rd). Had an awful husband and inherited Dad's propensity for congestive heart failure. Was supposed to be the least smart of all the Hohenzollern kids.
Luise Ulrike. Married Swedish royalty and was the mother of Gustav III., of Verdi opera fame (where he moonlights as a Puritan governor of Massachusetts). Again, brainy, patron of the arts, but also really really into Dad’s army. She was FW’s favorite daughter and her mother’s favorite daughter as well, or at least the one Sophia Dorothea said she’d never been able to say no to. Was also really into absolute monarchy and not keen on reforms, a central figure behind various attempts to make Sweden more absolutely monarchical, as it were.
Amalie. Didn't marry at all. Did supposedly have a passionate love affair with one Baron of Trenck, though it can’t be proven. (This was dicy because not only was he her brother’s sidekick but he had a high ranking cousin in the Austrian court.) Was mainly into music, composed as Fritz and Wilhelmine did. Was the one of the siblings looking most like Fritz physically according to their contemporaries.
