Duke Heinrich Wladimir Albrecht Ernst of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (19 April 1876 – 3 July 1934) later Prince Hendrik of the Netherlands, was a German-born aristocrat who became the prince consort of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands.
He was born in Schwerin, the youngest son of Friedrich Franz II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and his third wife, Princess Marie of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. Heinrich was created Prince Hendrik of the Netherlands on 6 February 1901, and married Queen Wilhelmina on 7 February 1901, in The Hague.
The marriage was an unhappy one that did little more than meet its obligation by producing an heir. They had one child, Princess Juliana, in whose favor her mother abdicated on 4 September 1948.
He was the 279th Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower and Sword and the 1,157th Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in Austria in 1924.
He died in The Hague.
