This is likely William Prince of Albania, who was also Prince of Wied and who served in the Prussian cavalry and as captain in the German General Staff: In the spring of 1915, he was in the news for his request to join the German army's campaign against Italy.
"Prince William of Wied, Prince of Albania (German: Wilhelm Friedrich Heinrich; Albanian: Princ Vidi or Princ Vilhelm Vidi) (26 March 1876 – 18 April 1945) reigned briefly as sovereign of Principality of Albania as Vidi I[1] from 7 March 1914 to 3 September 1914 when he left for exile. His reign officially came to an end on 31 January 1925 when the country was declared an Albanian Republic."

There is a chance that it is his older brother "William Frederick, [6th] Prince of Wied (German: Wilhelm Friedrich Hermann Otto Karl Fürst von Wied; 27 June 1872 – 18 June 1945) was a German nobleman, eldest child of William, Prince of Wied."
