Meet Sophia Duleep Singh, a Sikh princess whose life connected royalty, the fight for women’s right to vote, and the history of India and Britain.

The daughter of Maharaja Duleep Singh and goddaughter of Queen Victoria, Sophia became involved in the British suffragette movement and used her public profile to support the campaign for women’s suffrage, as well as support for Indian soldiers in WW1.
