Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (Albert Victor Christian Edward; 8 January 1864 – 14 January 1892) was the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra). From the time of his birth, he was second in the line of succession to the British throne, but did not become king or Prince of Wales because he died before both his father and paternal grandmother Queen Victoria. Albert Victor was known to his family, and many later biographers, as "Eddy". When he was young, he travelled the world extensively as a Royal Navy cadet, and as an adult, he joined the British Army, but did not undertake any active military duties. Read more on Wikipedia
