Question

Who was Jack the Ripper? Was he a member of the Royal Family?

Answer 1

the identity of JtR has never been confirmed.  he was however not a member of the royal family.  the particular member that was accused had alibis for each night (credible alibis).

another common theory was that he was a surgeon but that was not accepted by the medical community of the time.

a modern forensic team from Scotland yard recently applied new technology to the case and also used modern profiling to create a more accurate profile of who he could've been and where he lived.

the police of the time thought that they were looking for a deranged man so they focused on the homeless and the like. but the modern team determined that JtR was probably a painfully ordinary person with adequate social skills who lived in that geographical area.  After reviewing body eveidence thet determined as well that his true desire wasnt the kill but the act of degrading the bodies through the cutting.

there is a documentary ~ (about an hour long).

Answer 2

Jack the Ripper's identity has never been wholly proven (there isn't even a leading suspect), most aspects of the case are still debated and the Ripper is an infamous cultural bogeyman.

The Ripper's identity has never been established and people have never stopped looking.  Unfortunately, the wealth of Ripper source material - letters, reports, diaries and photographs – provides enough depth for detailed and fascinating research, but too few facts for any incontrovertible conclusions; just about everything about Jack the Ripper is open to debate and the best you can get is a consensus. There is no better mystery.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

no one knows.. that is one of life mysterys..he could have been

Answer 6

Jack the Ripper is an unidentified serial killer (or killers) active in the largely impoverished Whitechapel area and adjacent districts of London, England in the latter half of 1888. The name is taken from a letter to the Central News Agency by someone claiming to be the murderer, published at the time of the killings. The legends surrounding the Ripper murders have become a combination of genuine historical research, conspiracy theory and folklore. The lack of a confirmed identity for the killer has allowed Ripperologists — the term used within the field for the authors, historians and amateur detectives who study the case — to accuse a wide variety of individuals of being the Ripper. Newspapers, whose circulation had been growing during this era, bestowed widespread and enduring notoriety on the killer owing to the savagery of the attacks and the failure of the police in their attempts to capture the Ripper, sometimes missing the murderer at his crime scenes by mere minutes.

Victims were women earning income as casual prostitutes. The Ripper murders were perpetrated in a public or semi-public place; the victim's throat was cut, after which the body was mutilated. Some believe that the victims were first strangled in order to silence them and to explain the lack of reported blood at the crime scenes. The removal of internal organs from some victims has led to the proposal that the killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge.

In the 1960s and 1970s it was alleged that Prince Albert Victor may have committed, or have been responsible for, the Jack the Ripper murders in 1888. It was further alleged that the Prince fathered a child with a woman in the Whitechapel district of London, and either the Prince or several high-ranking men committed the murders in an effort to cover up his indiscretion. Though repeated frequently, historians have dismissed the claims as classic urban legends without foundation, referring instead to indisputable proof of the Prince's innocence.

Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (Albert Victor Christian Edward; 8 January 1864 – 14 January 1892) was a member of the British Royal Family, as the eldest son of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and Alexandra of Denmark.
