Prince Albert Victor, King Edward VII's (r. 1901-10) first son and heir to the throne, and popularly known as Eddy, has virtually been airbrushed out of history. Eddy was as popular and charismatic a figure in his own time as Princess Diana a century later. As in her case, his sudden death in 1892 resulted in public demonstrations of grief on a scale rarely seen at the time, and it was even rumoured (as in the case of Diana) that he was murdered to save him besmirching the monarchy. Had he lived, he would have been crowned king in 1911, ushering in a profoundly different style of monarchy from that of his younger brother, who ultimately succeeded as the stodgy George V. Eddy's life was virtually ignored by historians until the 1970s, when myths began to accumulate and his character somehow grew horns and a tail. As a result, he is remembered today primarily as a suspect in the Jack the Ripper muders of 1888 and for his alleged involvement in the Cleveland Street homosexual scandal of 1889. But history has found Eddy guilty of crimes he did not commit. Now, for the first time, using modern forensic evidence combined with Eddy's previously unseen records, personal correspondence and photographs, Andrew Cook proves his innocence. Prince Eddy reveals the truth about a key royal figure, a man who would have made a fine king and changed the face of the British monarchy.

Mobi Prince Eddy: The King Britain Never Had with FREE MOBI EDITION!

So many histories point out how aberrant, lazy, and unkingly Prince Eddy was, so it is refreshing to see a more positive presentation of him. He certainly wrote very well in the letters he wrote! His parents were terrible at raising their children -- Alexandra infantilized her children, while the Prince of Wales partied hard. At one point, the loving parents thought it was best that their two boys travel for 3 years on ships going around the world!The book should also be read along with Pope-Hennesy's excellent official record of Queen Mary's life, and her marriage, after a brief engagement to Eddy, to Eddy's brother, the future King George the Fifth as well as books which describe how Queen Victoria and Prince Albert treated their 9 offspring.Prince Eddy's sexual experimentations prior to his engagement to Princess May of Teck would certainly have been a trial for the future Queen Mary to deal with, since he certainly had syphilis or another STD, as this book makes clear. Nevertheless, while the history of the British monarchy usually overlooks Prince Eddy, this book recovers him as a living, breathing young man who appears to have been quite the victim of his royal birth. It's hard for us to remember that "royalty" had very much to do with the progeny having both parents be royal, so Prince Eddy's choices for a Protestant royal bride were limited. May of Teck's father, for example, was the product of a liaison between a royal father and a "commoner" bride, which was then called a "morganatic" marriage. This marriage by her grandparents made poor Princess May barely royal enough to marry Prince Eddy. May's mother was fully "royal" as she and her cousin Queen Victoria were both grandchildren of King George III.The inbreeding caused by these royal marriages was exacerbated by Queen Victoria's desire to have her offspring marry into the German, Prussian, and Russian royal families. Therefore, by the start of the First World War, the Kings/Czars of GB, Prussia, and Russia were all first cousins. The War destroyed most of the royal dynasties, leaving King George V's oldest son, David, unable to find a suitable wife. He abdicated to marry the woman he loved, leaving his younger brother, and the father of the current Queen, to lead his nation. Interestingly, King George VI's wife was from Scottish nobility, and the current Queen's husband was royal from the crumbling dynasties in one of the German states and Greece. Prince Charles had to marry a Virgin who was from the aristocracy, of which Diana Spencer was a truly well-connected offspring. Prince William could marry a commoner, the lovely, and queenly, current Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine.To understand the time period in which Prince Eddy lived and to compare it to what the royal family has experienced in the 129 years since his death is to get a new perspective of life, morals, and the role of a monarchy at various times of a nation. Prince Eddy died of influenza, making his life even more poignant at this time of Covid-19. Although nearly everyone believes he would have made a dreadful King, this book proposes that maybe that judgment is too harsh. He was certainly friendlier and sweeter-tempered than his brother! This book helps provide a counter-narrative about this young man and his lost place in history.
