EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (1864-1892), the elder son of King Edward VII, in the prime of his youth. Taken in 1888, the Duke is shown in a formal portrait, wearing the uniform of the Royal Horse Guards, with a serious expression and piercing gaze. At the time of this photograph, the Duke was a popular figure in British society, known for his good looks, charm, and athletic prowess. However, the Duke's life was tragically cut short when he died of pneumonia at the age of 28. The circumstances surrounding his death have long been the subject of speculation and intrigue. Some theories suggest that he was a victim of the infamous Jack the Ripper, who was active in London during the same period. Others have pointed to a scandal involving the Duke and a woman named Alice Keppel, the Countess of Cleveland, which may have weakened his health and contributed to his death. Despite these rumors, the Duke remains a fascinating figure in British royal history. His untimely death left a deep impact on his family, particularly his father, who was devastated by the loss of his eldest son. The Duke's tragic story serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the enduring power of vanity fair.
