According to the late British novelist and composer Anthony Burgess, Jack the Ripper was Prince Albert Victor Duke of Clarence and Avondale the grandson of Queen Victoria and heir to the British Crown.

Burgess says when authorities became aware he was the felon he was lured to Sweden where he was murdered by the Queen's Equerry and interred with little ceremony in that country, that his body was exhumed at a later date and returned to England.

It is less well known the Ripper sent numerous handwritten letters to the Metropolitan Police, behavior criminal psychologists say is typical for a killer who wants to be apprehended, the handwriting should be compared with the Prince's to find out for sure. Link.

Certainly, Prince Albert Victor is on the suspect list. He was a notorious philanderer and was caught up in a homosexual brothel scandal although his name was kept out of it. I've written about him here https://owlcation.com/humanities/The-Dissolute-Duke-of-Clarence and the article covers the Ripper theory. The murder in Sweden is new to me. My research says he died of pneumonia in Sandringham Castle, England.

Also, wasn't the Duke de Clarence syphilitic and crazy much of the time too? I wish I could recall where I saw something that sealed it for me that he was the culprit, including all police cover-ups, removal of anti-Semitic graffiti by Jack of Ripper, conveniences of privilege, embarrassment to authority, etc.

What are the top (20?) documentaries about Jack The Ripper, and/or specifically about the Prince (unless you actually have more compelling info otherwise).

The article above seems like perpetuating propaganda whitewashing the psychopathic Royal Family cult.

"We'll likely never know the identity of the true killer." - As long as he's of Royal blood.

If you want to believe I'm peddling royal propaganda, that's your call. Personally, I have no time for inherited privilege. An article in The Guardian, not a particularly royalist sympathizing paper, points out the inconvenient matter of the prince being out of Britain when the murders occurred. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/shortcuts/2014/sep/08/jack-the-ripper-five-unlikely-suspects-other-than-aaron-kosminski

I think it quite likely Jack didn't stop suddenly but moved to another location and carried on his grisly trade elsewhere.

I'd think of it more like royal deflection by distraction and raising doubts. I like theories of all kinds and this one is good, but while the other one posted ( https://owlcation.com/humanities/The-Dissolute-Duke-of-Clarence ) is good it's not the full story either.

That is an inconvenient matter - if we are to believe he was out of Britain, or the easily faked DNA tests. I wasn't there. I don't think we're ever really supposed to know. Good article though.

I'm pretty sure Jack moved to Hollywood and became a movie executive producer.
