For England and Saint George The Prince Albert: A Right Royal Trinket Charm Necklace from Hoolala
HRH Prince Albert Edward was the son of Queen Victoria. Legend has it that he gained a rather saucy reputation as a playboy and was always up to cunning stunts such as; hiding foxy young actresses in his tent whilst he was in the army and embarking on a string of affairs not least of which with one Alice Keppel who is Camilla Parker-Bowles' great grandmother (Camilla is now married to Prince Charles our future King of England). Phew! What a randy bunch the British royals are...
Where was I.... ah yes, Prince Albert was known as Bertie to the family throughout his life. His son Prince Eddy was a possible Jack the Ripper suspect. Allegedly Sir William Gull the Royal surgeon was also in the frame for the White Chapel Murders. So the story goes Prince Eddy's mother asked a well-known artist of the period to act as a mentor to the sensitive Prince - Mr. Walter Sickert. He introduced Prince Eddy to a 'shop girl' called Annie Elizabeth Crook. They started having an affair fell in love and got married in secret, it is claimed. This scandal could bring down the monarchy, as a child born of the royal line may have been able to lay claim to the throne.
Apparently Annie was declared insane and in order to make her 'disappear' committed to an asylum for the rest of her natural,
meanwhile Alice their illegitimate daughter ended up in the care of one Mary Kelly who was a friend of Walter Sickert. Supposedly Mary and her 'friends' were going to blackmail the government using their knowledge of Prince Eddy's secret marriage. Prince Eddy was a freemason as was his father and Sir William Gull and as they protect their own they closed ranks deciding the only way out was to silence these women for ever - Jack the Ripper was born and so as they say the rest is history....
This is a beautiful necklace steeped in history and a real conversation piece. Just think when someone asks you who is the person in the picture you can tell them...
The large charm measures 40mm x 30mm, the medium charm measures 25mm x 15mm and the small union jack measures 10mm round.
