    I find it most difficult to believe that the victims were in any position to blackmail anyone. They were prostitutes because they often could not afford a place to sleep.

    • @Janellabelle
      @Janellabelle 6 місяців тому +29

      I was reading about the places they could barely afford to sleep and it was a rope they could lean against. The owner would string a rope from one end of a pole to the other, and it'd be a few shillings to lean against it for the night in relative safety. The prostitutes that were out that night were trying to make a few coins so they could go lean on that rope in safety and somehow sleep while simultaneously leaning on this rope! Dreadful life. I wouldnt be so upset the ripper got me if that was my life. Id have probably already rippered myself after the first night SLEEPING ON A ROPE! These women were tough.

      @@Peekaboo-Kitty you bet it was ridiculous. I couldn't even picture in my head how they could do that because im, much like you, so priviledged to live in this country in this era, so i googled to see if a picture of it was ever taken and I found a couple. It was...devastating for me to see. I couldn't get it out of my head the rest of the day. No innocent human being deserves that life. According to google, when you search "sleeping on a rope victorian era" this is the blurb: "In Victorian England, the poor would sometimes sleep over ropes in exchange for a penny. This was a method for homeless people to get food, shelter, and a place to sleep. The ropes would be strung between two beams, and people would sleep draped over them in groups." Also, search "two penny hangover" i tried to post the link to an entire article about the practice of sleeping on ropes in the victorian era in whitechapel london and paris, but YT deleted it immediately. 🙄 But you can use google, so I'm sure you can find the history on it if you want to. But be warned if you're even slightly an empathetic person, it is soo depressing. No wonder people died at 30. Their living conditions were filthy disease infested gutters, but not only that, their lifestyle of extremely hard dangerous nasty work and alcoholism to dull the absolute misery on top of that which you can not only die from drinking too much but not drinking anything if you have developed a dependency, as well....and delerium tremens is a NIGHTMARE. Im sure death came as a relief though for many. Especially the Rippers victims who had nothing and no one...which is the saddest part of it for me...that they probably welcomed death when it came..even though it was brutal.

      Several royals throughout history have had learning disorders such as dylexia and attention deficit disorder. Although intelligent, these royals had trouble learning in a traditional environment. Eddy had been born prematurely and may have suffered from oxygen deprivation during his birth. The future Edward VII had suffered from an unsympathetic educational regime. It is amazing that he did not protect his own children from an equally unpleasant method of education. Queen Victoria thought the solution to Eddy's character flaws was a sensible wife.

    The most plausible explanation as to who jack the ripper was is found in the book entitled “Jack the Ripper: First American Serial Killer “ by Paul Gainey and Stewart Evans; which has a theory that Jack the Ripper came to the United States. This being the reason why the the murders stopped in London and started happening in New York City.

    When the media connected with the story about Eddie, Sickert, the confectioner’s assistant/mother of Eddie’s child etc. I was 21. I religiously 27:03 watched the TV series
    that covered it. It was a mind blower to a 21 year old. Now I’m 72. I highly highly doubt Eddie was involved or was anything but a hapless scapegoat.
    I went to St. George’s Chapel in Windsor a couple years ago. He and many other royals are buried there but he is the only one who has an entire wing of the church to himself. Yet there is a barrier in front of the entrance. One can only crane one’s neck to stare at the end of his effigy and marble bier. I want to know why on earth no one can go in. The other monarchs who reigned are completely accessible. Odd, very odd.

    I've often wondered if PAV's worsening symptoms of syphilis might have been the catalyst for his sudden demise. Perhaps he passed away from influenza
    or a decision was made to implement an assisted death before it became too obvious that he was suffering from syphilis. Either way, if he did have syphilis
    there would be no possibility of him ascending the throne. Death from the influenza would be more palatable in the history books

They would have had no need to butcher them and make a spectacle of it. They would have just hired someone to take them out quickly and cleanly. But, this idea is absurd as well given how many of the RF had well known illegitimate children, even Edward VII. So, why would they even have bothered?

    Although the stories of Prince Albert Victor being the Ripper are pretty far fetched. However, he wouldn't be the first or last of the "royal family" with "feet of clay". Take Prince Andrew for instance. Lucky for Britain that he didn't become king. I would imagine people wanted it to be him, because it was more frightening that someone who committed such heinous crimes was never identified or caught.

    You never even mention the theory that "Jack" was a physician to the Royal family who who assigned the "job" of covering up the evidence of Prince Eddie's possible acquaintance with one or more of the victims, and a possible attempt to blackmail Prince Eddie by one or more of them. While Eddie was clearly not there when the Whitechapel murders occurred this does not rule out the possibility that he might have visited one or more of them on earliere occasions. If so, it might have made him subject to a blackmail attempt at some unknown time before the murders occurred.This theory has always been more popular than the one that claimed Prince Eddy carried out the murders himself.

    Prince Eddie certainly had motif if he did indeed suffer with a venerial disease or fathered an heir that he was being blackmailed for.
    What's really interesting is that the Royal Family were of German origin and spoke German behind close doors. The witness statements mention a handsome foreign looking man who spoke in a German accent.
    It's plausible that The Prince could have spoke English using a German accent as a camouflage. It would have been easy for him to do it.
    However I tend to go with the incident of Lechmere and John Paul stumbling across Lechmere over the body. I think Lechmere is the most likely candidate.
