Yes, among his many other titles is that of 'Prince of Orange', along with, for example, Duke of Saxony, Duke of Luneburg, Duke of Holstein and Schleswig, Landgrave of Hesse, Prince of Nassau, Count of Hohenstein.Princess Robijn said:thank your, wikipedia also said Georg Friedrich had the title Prince of Orange is it true?? (isn't Prince Willem-Alexander the Prince of Orange)
All of these titles are today also held by others with more legitimate dynastic rights to bear them. They appear in the Prussian titles because of conquest, annexations etc, many "acquired" as a result of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, when some German states paid a price for siding with Austria. This was a time when Bismarck was making his move for a German State under the headship of the Prussian Kingdom.
