==Jack The Ripper rumors==
The first reference appears to be in [[1962]], when [[Phillippe Jullien]] author of ''Edouard VII'', a [[biography]] of Eddy's father, made a passing reference to [[rumor]]s suggesting that Prince Eddy and the [[Duke of Bedford]] were responsible for the murders. Which Duke of Bedford was supposed to be Eddy's colleague at the time of the murders was left uncertain. At the time of the murders the active Duke was sixty-nine-year old [[Francis Charles Hastings Russell, 9th Duke of Bedford]] ([[1819]] - [[1891]]). He would be shortly succeeded by [[George William Francis Sackville Russell, 10th Duke of Bedford]] ([[1852]]-[[1893]]) and then by [[Herbrand Arthur Russell, 11th Duke of Bedford]] ([[1858]]-[[1940]]), both in their thirties at the time. Jullien did not mention his sources of those rumors. His own book is believed to be the first recording them.
