Family
She was the fourth child and third daughter of Frederick William I of Prussia and his wife Sophia Dorothea of Hanover. She was a sister of Frederick II of Prussia, Queen Louisa Ulrika of Sweden, and Friederike Luise, Margravine of Brandenburg-Ansbach.
Through her mother, she was a granddaughter of George I of Great Britain. This thus made her a niece of George II of Great Britain and a cousin of Frederick, Prince of Wales, Anne, Princess of Orange, and Queen Louise of Denmark and Norway.

On 2 July 1733 in Berlin, Princess Philippine Charlotte married Duke Charles of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, eldest son of Ferdinand Albert II, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. Charles inherited the dukedom on his father's death in 1735.
