Jan Bondeson, a lecturer at Cardiff University in Wales, calls Edward Jones, well known to the police of his time as Boy Jones, as "the first known celebrity stalker in history," The Sun reported. Bondeson said the story was kept under wraps as much as possible, but he was able to gather information for his book, "Queen Victoria's Stalker," from old newspaper stories.
"It really is an extraordinary tale," said Bondeson today. "The Boy Jones had a remarkable ability to get into the palace. They just couldn't keep him out. He sat on the throne, he looked at books in the royal library and went inside Queen Victoria's private apartments - once he even stole her underwear."The amazing thing is really how close he was able to get to the Queen, and the extraordinary lengths the authorities went to get rid of him. They were worried about what the Boy Jones might tell people, and what he might do. No one really knew what was going on in his head.Bondeson said: "The Boy Jones was the first known celebrity stalker in history. He was so famous in his time that he was hounded through the whole of his life. People would follow him shouting: 'There's the boy who went to visit the Queen.'"The way he was treated is something you can imagine under the rule of Mugabe - he was undesirable so they just got rid of him. His trial was held in secret and as a result of this suppression, information about the Boy Jones is very hard to come by."
