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.
