| | | Eldest son of Edward VII and brother to George V. Born Albert Victor and later enobled as the Duke Of Clarence but generally known as Eddy. He was not conspicuously bright, even compared to his brother, but his interest in art reportedly led his mother Queen Alexandra to ask Walter Sickert to introduce him to Bloomsbury's artistic community in the mid 1880s. Eddy did not succeed to the throne because of his untimely death in 1892 at Sandringham, according to the History Books.
Rumors of the Survival Of Prince Eddy at Glamis Castle or some other secret location have however themselves survived, popping up in the Daily Express column of Paul Callan last year and at greater length in Sickert's Version Of The Story of the Royal Family as recorded in the book The Ripper And The Royals ten years before.
