Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution is a non-fiction book written by Stephen Knight about the Whitechapel murders and the search for the identity of Jack the Ripper. It was first published in 1976. The book proposes an elaborate conspiracy involving the Royal family, Freemasonry and the painter Walter Sickert, designed to cover up the alleged fact that the Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale had had a child by Annie Elizabeth Crook, a working class girl. This version of the so-called Royal conspiracy theory of the murders has been widely circulated in films and other dramatizations of the crimes.
