The incredible theory about Jack the Ripper and the British royal family

It has been more than 130 years since the Whitechapel area of ​​London experienced a horrific period during which five women – prostitutes in the profession – died in the most heinous way, between 1888-1891. Historians and amateur researchers still disagree on the true identity of the infamous Jack the Ripper, with an incredible theory that he wants a member of the British, royal family to be the hitherto unknown killer who killed his victims with incredible ferocity.

Around the 1960s, after the publication of Philip Julian’s biography of King Edward VII, a theory was gaining ground among the public, who believed that the continuing murderer was none other than Queen Victoria’s grandson. prince Albert Victor Christian Edward.

The eldest son of King Edward VII, died earlier than his father at the age of 28 and thus never became king. Eddie, as he was nicknamed, went down in the history of the British royal family as the “suspect” in the heinous murders committed in late 19th century London.

Although the news reported that Eddie was not near the Whitechapel area at the time of the tragic murders, questions arose and continue to this day due to the mysterious life (many speculate that he was gay) and Eddie’s death. Although he died of the flu in 1892, many believe he died of syphilis and committed the murders in the madness of the disease.

There is, however, a second theory that does not directly link Albert to them murders. Instead, he claims, Albert fell in love with a young Catholic girl living in Whitechapel, whom he secretly married and had a child with. But the idea that the eventual heir to the throne would have a child with a simple bourgeois, and highly catholic, was unacceptable to the royal family. In this scenario, the murders were actually committed by agents of the royal family who murdered anyone who knew the secret marriage or the child of the prince and future king.
