NORFOLK’S INDIAN PRINCESS
An illustrated talk by Juyna Lewis
Sophia Duleep Singh (1876-1948) was born into Indian royalty. Her father, Maharajah Duleep Singh, was heir to the Sikh Kingdom. She was also Queen Victoria’s god-daughter and lived through the reigns of five British monarchs and two world wars. Despite her privileged and wealthy background, she was a suffragette and promoter of equality and served as a volunteer nurse during World War 1. She was shy and wary of public speaking but campaigned vigorously for the under classes, standing up for what she believed despite pressures from the British government. Although a flawed and complex person, her unique life gives us a striking perspective on the social and political upheaval of post-Victorian Britain.
