[edit] Early Life
Archduke Karl Harold-Gustavus was born on Febuary 12th, 2801, to then Crown Prince Godric of Hulstria and Crown Princess Roberta Lusk at Fliederbrunn Palace; Karl was the royal couple's first born and their first son. The Archduke was named after Karl III of Hulstria, Gustavus I of Luthori, and Harold I of Pontesi. The couple considered Karl "their pride and joy" and it was noted that the child was very much protected by their parents; Karl remained strictly out of the public eye until his teen years to focus on schooling and his own childhood. The Archduke attended boarding school in Hulstria and went on regular sailing trips with his parents and on these trips the press barely get a shot of him thanks to security of the Imperial Guard. When the Archduke traveled with his father, he was also safely guarded. In 2813 at the age of 13 Archduke Karl was shown formally to the public eye for the first time during a State Dinner welcoming the King of Rilandor, Henri III, the husband of Matilda, Karl's aunt.
[edit] Crown Prince of Hulstria
Unlike his father, Karl at a young age was not a public figure however this did not render his abilities to take up the responsibilities of being the Crown Prince of Hulstria. On Febuary 16th, 2814, 4 days after his 14th birthday, his grandfather and the Emperor of Hulstria Alexander I died after suffering from a heart attack at Fliederbrunn Palace; his father Godric upon his coronation was crowned as the new Kaiser and thus Karl moved up in the line of succession to the Hulstrian throne, becoming the 1st in line and as such was styled as Crown Prince of Hulstria. Karl took these responsibilities at a fairly young age yet this did not hurt his schooling; Karl finished his time in boarding school and went on into a career in the army following in his father's footsteps, who held the title of the Chief Admiral of Imperial Submarine Fleet in the navy of Greater Hulstria. Crown Prince Karl would not however serve on submarines, instead chosing to take up duties on aircraft carriers. In Karl's career in the military he would eventually rise to the rank of Commander, just below his father's rank of Captain, but nonetheless was reported to be very proud of the title he achieved. After some years in the military, he left to engage in official royal duties.
In 2821 Crown Prince Karl married Princess Elizabeth from the House of Diggory, the ruling royal family within the Kingdom of Lodamun, in Kien at the Hulstrian National Cathedral. The marriage set up new relations with the Rothingren-Traugotts and the Diggorys and Godric II and Matthew I became close monarchial allies shortly after the wedding. However such celebrations were cut off quickly; 6 months after the wedding, the Lodamun Monarch was abolished and Matthew I became the pretender to the Lodamun throne. Despite this, the marriage did not flatter and the royal couple engaged in royal activities nonetheless. Crown Prince Karl acted as the central representative of the Monarchy when his father was not in apperance or during any State Visit that he went with himself; the Crown Prince was known to be have liked to frequent banquets with his life and remain in contact with other royals. Karl was noted to have been in close communications with the House of Flieder and worked towards greater relations with the Rothingren-Traugott cadet branch.
As time went on after his wedding, there were concerns and questions about the state of marriage between Karl and Elizabeth; the two were known to be happy yet through the 2820s and the time of Karl's death, the royal couple did not produce a heir. There was a false report of them having a daughter but such were exposed as false and hoax by Fliederbrunn Palace. Karl's father, Emperor Godric II, was concerned that if Karl would become Emperor he would not produce a heir yet did not make too much of a problem out of this, allowing Karl to take his time with matters of succession. There were reports that the couple was ready to "get to work" on a child but the Crown Prince's death but a massive dent into those plans.
