Answer

Wilhelm became crown prince in 1888 after his father, Frederick III, died of cancer just 99 days after becoming emperor. Wilhelm was only 29 years old at the time, and he had no experience in government. His mother, Empress Victoria, tried to help him learn the ropes, but he was not interested in listening to her.
