Royal descendants can automatically receive this chapter as long as they reach the age of 10. It was abolished after the abdication of Emperor William II in 1918.

From its first award in 1701 to 1918, a total of 407 Black Eagle medals have been awarded, of which 57 were awarded during the reign of Friedrich I (1701-1713). In 1918, 118 medals were awarded: the Prussian royal family received 14 medals, one nobleman from the Hohenzollern royal family was also on the list of winners, 49 medals were awarded to the ruling family at the time (9 of which were countries at war with Germany), and 54 medals were awarded to non aristocratic Germans (including 17 who had not yet taken office). There is also a saying about the Black Eagle Medal, which comes from the Prussian National Handbook: male members of the royal family will be awarded the Black Eagle Star on their tenth birthday (conclusion drawn from context); On his 18th birthday, he will receive the Black Eagle Medal hanging around his neck. This medal will also be awarded to the Queen of Prussia (later the Empress of the German Empire), while other female members of the royal family can only receive the Order of Louise.
