In Melvin Fairclough's book, The Ripper and the Royals, he features a reproduction of a photograph with the heading, "The Duke of Clarence in 1910, aged 46, eighteen years after his official death in 1892" [1]

In Andrew Cook's book, "Prince Eddy," Cook mentions that Ken Linge BA, MSc, FBIPP, looked at this image and utilising techniques such as morphological, anthropometric, and biometric techiques, was able to disprove this image was Prince Eddy. [2]

The Cook Book is referenced with a list of sources at the rear, but introduction, where this point appears has no footnotes listed!

My question is thus.....

Does anybody have a copy of this report by Ken Linge?

Hi Mike-
THAT photo has miraculously disappeared when I hacked up my copy of TR&TR for an drawing...(I know!)...It's an interesting photo though- but somehow doesn't work...halfway through the Leonardo Shroud book at the mo though so am slightly sceptical of everything....what do you reckon??

Hi

For more factual evidence on Prince Eddy and his death there is quite a bit in my book 'The Prince, His Tutor and the Ripper'. I think that it shows that Eddy did, in fact, die in 1892. I quote from a long doctors report by Dr Broadbent who was attending Eddy at his death. It seems too detailed to be faked.

Hi Debbie,

I'm with you on this.

Melvin Fairclough's book is an endlessly-amusing crock of arrant nonsense.

Regards,

Simon
