Prince Edward, Duke of Clarence was a member of the British royal family, born on October 9, 1864. He was the second son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Edward held the title of Duke of Clarence and Avondale, which was created for him in 1881. Despite his royal status, Edward's life was marked by personal challenges and controversies. He served in the Royal Navy and was known for his interest in the arts and sports. Tragically, he passed away on May 18, 1892, at the young age of 27, before he could fulfill his potential as a royal.
