Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale
Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (Albert Victor Christian Edward; 8 January 1864 – 14 January 1892) was the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) and grandson of the reigning British monarch, Queen Victoria.
From the time of his birth, he was second in the line of succession to the British throne, but never became king because he died before his father and grandmother.
Albert Victor was known to his family, and many later biographers, as "Eddy".
When young, he travelled the world extensively as a naval cadet, and as an adult he joined the British Army, but did not undertake any active military duties.
After two unsuccessful courtships, he was engaged to be married to Princess Mary of Teck in late 1891.
A few weeks later, he died during an influenza pandemic.
Mary later married his younger brother, who became King George V in 1910.
Albert Victor's intellect, sexuality and mental health have been the subject of speculation.
Rumours in his time linked him with the Cleveland Street scandal, which involved a homosexual brothel, but there is no conclusive evidence that he ever went there or was homosexual.
Some authors have argued that he was the serial killer known as Jack the Ripper, but contemporary documents show that Albert Victor could not have been in London at the time of the murders, and the claim is widely dismissed.
Thomas E. A. Stowell
Thomas Edmund Alexander Stowell CBE, FRCS( 1885 – 8 November 1970) was a British physician.
Stowell was educated at St Paul's School, followed by St Thomas' Hospital.
From 1910, he took clinical training at St Thomas's Hospital, Grimsby and District Hospital, and the Royal Southern Hospital, Liverpool.
He qualified as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1912.
In 1927, he gained a Doctorate in Medicine, and in 1954 he received the Diploma in Industrial Health" honoris causa" from the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries.
Stowell was descended from William Scott, 1st Baron Stowell.
In 1913, he married Lillian Elizabeth Wagner.
Their son, Eldon Stowell, was also a doctor.
Their only daughter died in an accident in 1958.
His clinical appointments included assistant ophthalmic surgeon at St Andrew's Hospital, Bromley- by- Bow, and Battersea General Hospital; surgeon at St Mary's Hospital, Sidcup; honorary surgeon at Northwich Infirmary; senior honorary surgeon and radiologist at the Mid Cheshire Orthopaedic Clinic, Northwich; and consulting surgeon in the Emergency Medical Service.
He was chief medical officer to Imperial Chemical Industries, traumatic surgeon to Brunner Mond, and a founder of the Association of Industrial Medical Officers( now the Society of Occupational Medicine).
He served as chair of the Council of Industrial Medicine, the medical advisory committee of the Industrial Welfare Society, the British Committee of International Congresses on Industrial Health and Safety, and the British Organizing Council for the IX International Council of Industrial Health in London in 1948.
For his work in the latter appointment, he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1949.
Outside of medicine, Stowell entered the public eye just a few days before his death because of an article he had published in the November 1970 issue of" The Criminologist".
Stowell appeared to indicate that he either possessed or had seen evidence implicating Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, in the notorious" Jack the Ripper" murders eighty years before.
During an appearance on the BBC current affairs programme" 24 Hours" on 2 November, Stowell" seemed to accept tacitly" that the Duke was the Ripper.
However, on 5 November 1970 Stowell wrote to" The Times" newspaper," I have at no time associated His Royal Highness, the late Duke of Clarence, with the Whitechapel murderer."
The letter was published on 9 November, the day after Stowell's own death.
The same week, Stowell's son reported that he had burned his father's papers, saying" I read just sufficient to make certain that there was nothing of importance."
Stowell's article awakened public interest in the Ripper murders, and the supposed connection of Prince Albert Victor to the murders was later developed by other writers, such as Stephen Knight in.
Stowell's other interests included Freemasonry.
He privately published" The Centenary History of Cornubian Lodge 450 of Free and Accepted Masons" in 1950.
Stowell's obituary in the" British Medical Journal" described him as" a tall elegant figure, with an intellectual face and sporting a monocle.
Naturally witty, he was gifted with a fine sense of humour and a sense of fun.
All this considered, and given that he was a splendid raconteur, he made an admirable companion."
Edward VII
Edward VII (Albert Edward; 9 November 1841 – 6 May 1910) was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910.
The eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Edward was related to royalty throughout Europe.
He was heir apparent to the British throne and held the title of Prince of Wales for longer than any of his predecessors.
During the long reign of his mother, he was largely excluded from political power, and came to personify the fashionable, leisured elite.
He travelled throughout Britain performing ceremonial public duties, and represented Britain on visits abroad.
His tours of North America in 1860 and the Indian subcontinent in 1875 were popular successes, but despite public approval his reputation as a playboy prince soured his relationship with his mother.
As king, Edward played a role in the modernisation of the British Home Fleet and the reorganisation of the British Army after the Second Boer War.
He reinstituted traditional ceremonies as public displays and broadened the range of people with whom royalty socialised.
He fostered good relations between Britain and other European countries, especially France, for which he was popularly called "Peacemaker", but his relationship with his nephew, the German Emperor Wilhelm II, was poor.
The Edwardian era, which covered Edward's reign and was named after him, coincided with the start of a new century and heralded significant changes in technology and society, including steam turbine propulsion and the rise of socialism.
He died in 1910 in the midst of a constitutional crisis that was resolved the following year by the Parliament Act 1911, which restricted the power of the unelected House of Lords.
Lord Henry Arthur George Somerset
Major Lord Henry Arthur George Somerset DL( 17 November 1851 – 26 May 1926) was the third son of the 8th Duke of Beaufort and his wife, the former Lady Georgiana Curzon.
He was head of the stables of the future King Edward VII( then Prince of Wales) and a Major in the Royal Horse Guards.
Lord Arthur Somerset was linked with the Cleveland Street scandal, in which he was identified and named by several male prostitutes as a customer of their services.
He was interviewed by the police on 7 August 1889, and although the record of the interview has not survived, it resulted in a report being made by the Attorney- General, Solicitor- General and Director of Prosecutions urging that proceedings should be taken against him under section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885.
A piece of paper was pasted over Somerset's name in the report, as it was deemed so sensitive.
It is believed that he gave the police the initials of a member of the Royal family" P. A. V.", which stood for Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, his employer and the second in line to the throne, whom – he alleged – also frequented the brothel.
After that, the Director was told that the Home Secretary wished him to take no action for the moment.
The police obtained a further statement implicating Somerset, while Somerset arranged for his solicitor to act in the defence of the boys arrested over the scandal.
After the police saw him for a second time on 22 August, Somerset obtained leave from his regiment and permission to go abroad.
Lord Arthur went to Bad Homburg in Germany, although he returned to England.
When tipped off in September that charges were imminent, he fled to France to avoid them.
From there he travelled through Constantinople, Budapest, Vienna, and back to France, where he settled, living with an Englishman, James Neale, until his death in 1926, aged 74.

Her parents were Francis, Duke of Teck, who was of German extraction, and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, who was a granddaughter of King George III.
She was informally known as "May", after her birth month.
At the age of 24, she was betrothed to her second cousin once removed Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, but six weeks after the announcement of the engagement, he died unexpectedly during an influenza pandemic.
The following year, she became engaged to Albert Victor's only surviving brother, George, who subsequently became king.
Before her husband's accession, she was successively Duchess of York, Duchess of Cornwall, and Princess of Wales.
As queen consort from 1910, she supported her husband through the First World War, his ill health, and major political changes arising from the aftermath of the war.
After George's death in 1936, she became queen mother when her eldest son, Edward VIII, ascended the throne, but to her dismay, he abdicated later the same year in order to marry twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson.
She supported her second son, George VI, until his death in 1952.
She died the following year, during the reign of her granddaughter Elizabeth II, who had not yet been crowned.
