Yes it is he. One of the Jack the Ripper theories includes him as a suspect.

The caption is incorrect in saying "King George V" as in 1891 he was the second son of the Prince of Wales and had little prospect of coming to the throne, his title at the time being HRH Prince George of Wales. Only Eddy's death the following year changed his position. He did not become King until 19 years after the photograph.

I was wondering if anyone would pick up on Albert V and Jack the Ripper, although he's been ruled out as a suspect, as he was in Scotland for two of the murders.

I had thought it sounded familiar, but I was going to look it up today before I made comment.

I don't think we can rule anyone out just yet can we Todd?.....

The Duke of Clarence was a suspect in a book by Stephen Knight called "Jack the Ripper: the final solution" being a bit of a Ripperologist myself I can confirn it should be filed uner "fiction"

But there are other theories that some mad physician with royal connections (Gull?) were committing the murders to preserve some little secret regarding the Duke of Clarence and Avondale - one of them became a Sherlock Holmes film starring Christopher Plummer!

However we mustn't digress to much - at least the kilted tradition of the Royal Family when in Scotland remains strong but I worry about William and Harry as I cannot recall seeing kilted photos of them.
