Prince Albert Victor

Using the website Casebook www.casebook.org/suspects/eddy.html I have been able to gather some information on Prince Albert Victor, who was known as Eddy by friends. 'Eddy' is one of the most famous suspects of the Jack the Ripper case although there were no theories of him being involved in the murders at that time. However theories came about of his involvement long after the main characters in other theories had died. There are three main theories regarding Prince Albert Victor as Jack the Ripper. The first one came about in 1962 from Phillippe Jullian who wrote in his book Edouard VII that ''the prince and the 'Duke of Bedford''' were rumoured to be responsible for the Ripper murders. However details of the character named the Duke of Bedford have remained unknown. The theory I found most interesting was the second, which came about in 1970 and that I am planning on researching some more.
