Was Jack the Ripper related to Queen Victoria?

Answer 1

Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution is a book written by Stephen Knight first published in 1976. It proposed a solution to five murders in Victorian London that were blamed on an unidentified serial killer known as "Jack the Ripper". It proven to it was well made hoax. I read it when it came out. Book or not, I think that the ripper was a poor man. Anyone that has worked in a butcher shop, knows how to cut organs apart.

Answer 2

Jack the Ripper was never identified. One of the suspects, the Duke of Clarence, was related to Queen Victoria; but it is almost certain he was not the killer, as he was not in London at the time of the murders.

Answer 3

Soon after the Royal conspiracy theory began making the rounds, other authors began to wonder if Prince Eddy himself might have been the Ripper. These theories also have no evidence to support them - indeed, there is ample evidence that proves Eddy was in various other parts of the United Kingdom on the nights of several of the Ripper murders.

Answer 4

In reality, not much. For every news-worthy story, there comes the conspiracy theories. Jack The Ripper's crimes and the sensation they caused were furtile ground for numerous plots and skullduggery, many that centered on the royal family. One theory was, since Scotland Yard failed to apprehend the Ripper, it stood to reason that Prince Albert, in his pursuit of easy, lower class women, had killed these women and Queen Victoria covered up the crimes against her grandson. While it is true that the Prince did like women of questionable morals, he was more of a victim than the women he spent time with. He contracted a serious case of syphillis and on one occasion was blackmailed by two ladies he had spent time with.

Had anyone checked easily obtained facts, they would have found that for at least three of the murders the prince was away hunting. It would have been impossible for him to have been the Ripper. Of course this has not stopped the endless conspiracy theories

Answer 5

No one knows because no one knows who he was. Some people think he was a member of the royal family, but it's mere speculation.
