The exhibition explores the life of Princess Sophia and the women who shaped her including Godmother Queen Victoria. Princess Sophia Duleep Singh is best known for her activism in support of women’s right to vote, as a suffragette who used her position to further the cause. In The Last Princesses of Punjab, audiences will explore her commitment to women’s suffrage through items including an original copy of The Suffragette featuring the iconic image of Sophia selling copies of the newspaper on the gate of Hampton Court Palace, where she was granted a residence by her godmother Queen Victoria. The image caused a scandal in 1913, considered evidence of her support of a “dangerous” cause. Princess Sophia’s spoiled 1911 census record reading “No Vote, No Census” will also be displayed, alongside a photograph of Princesses Sophia and Catherine attending a Suffrage dinner in 1930, demonstrating their prominent role in the movement.
