India, April 10 -- A new exhibition at Kensington Palace, The Last Princesses of Punjab, sheds light on the extraordinary life of Princess Sophia Duleep Singh and the remarkable women in her family. Through rare photographs, letters, and personal objects, the exhibition explores themes of identity, resistance, and heritage. Princess Sophia was the daughter of Maharajah Duleep Singh, the last Sikh ruler of Punjab, who was exiled to England after losing his kingdom to the East India Company. Raised at Elveden Hall alongside her sisters Catherine and Bamba, Sophia grew up in a culturally rich but complex environment shaped by her Punjabi royal lineage and her mother Bamba Muller's Ethiopian and German roots. Despite their privileged upbringing, the sisters faced challenges, particularly after their father abandoned the family. Queen Victoria intervened, providing them with financial support and guidance. Sophia later lived at Hampton Court Palace, where she became widely known for her role in the suffragette movement. A central focus of the exhibition is Sophia's activism. She campaigned for women's right to vote and famously refused to pay taxes, adopting the slogan "No Vote, No Tax." On display are protest banners, a handwritten letter to Winston Churchill describing police brutality, and publications showing her selling suffragette newspapers. The exhibition also highlights her sisters' contributions. Princess Bamba sought to reconnect with her family's Punjabi heritage, while Princess Catherine supported Jewish refugees during the Nazi era, offering them shelter in England. Their grandmother, Maharani Jind Kaur, is also honored, with her portrait reunited with her original jewelry for the first time in over a century. Overall, the exhibition presents a powerful story of resilience, identity, and the lasting impact of these extraordinary women....
