The situation seems under control until Sickert receives a blackmail note from Mary Kelly, his one-time lover and the friend of Crook. There, she is operated upon by William Gull, physician to Victoria, so that her cognitive faculties are destroyed. The infant daughter is sent into anonymity and Crook is spirited away to an insane asylum. Victoria's reaction is strident and Albert is effectively kidnapped from his incognito life. She delivers a baby and then Queen Victoria learns of the entire illicit situation. Guided by his chaperon, Walter Sickert, an incognito Albert meets Annie Crook, a shop-girl, develops a sexual relationship with her, and then marries her in an Anglican church. Prince Albert Victor leads a life steeped in perverse pleasures and sexual liaisons. The murders are attributed to Jack the Ripper, and the real identity of Jack the Ripper is William Gull, the Royal physician and a high-ranking Freemason, working on explicit orders from Queen Victoria to murder specific women to cover up an illicit affair carried on by her grandson Prince Albert Victor. The victims, all poor female prostitutes, are murdered and then mutilated. In Autumn of 1888 a series of five brutal murders shocks London.
