Duke Paul Frederick Charles Alexander Michael Hugh of Mecklenburg was born in
Roman Catholics and were brought up in Venice, where his family became friends with Cardinal Sarto (later Pope Pius X), who was a regular visitor to the family.[4]
On 21 April 1884 Duke Paul Frederick's place in the line of succession to the throne of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was superseded by his uncles after his father renounced his own and his descendants' rights of succession.[1][5] However, in the event of his uncles' families becoming extinct, Duke Paul Frederick's line could succeed, as long as the successor converted from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism.[6]
Despite being put into the Army shortly after his birth, Duke Paul Frederick eventually pursued a career in the
United States of America and cruise in the Southern waters of the country.[7]
Duke Paul Frederick of Mecklenburg died unmarried in Kiel at the age of 22.[1]
