The missing Mary Morstan and Mycroft Holmes know about it, and I suspect that some agents in the secret service office are also aware of this terrible reality. Although neither this servant, Dr. Watson, nor the Scotland Yard inspectors knew what that secret was. On more than one occasion, as Sherlock Holmes’ doctor and confidant, I have tried, even using unconventional methods, to extract a confession from him, but my friend refused to tell me the truth.

Unfortunately, since we realized that the infamous Irene Adler knows this secret, Sherlock Holmes has shown symptoms of unprecedented anxiety, and that´s why he was incessantly persecuting her, while she was blackmailing him with revealing that secret to the public.

In addition, as I also mentioned on another time, Irene Adler had two very exclusive diamonds stolen from the Spanish Crown. She retrieved one, but Sherlock Holmes kept the other (that´s another story), and was sure that with this bait, he could capture and silence her.
