Would you like to know more about the last Crown Prince of Punjab, Frederick Duleep Singh, who never stepped foot in Punjab and instead enjoyed an everyday life in Norfolk, England?
Prince Frederick was a Christian and the last surviving male heir of the Sikh Empire, yet his story is often overshadowed by his sister Princess Sophia Duleep Singh's fame in the suffrage movement and the Koh-i-Noor diamond that his father surrendered to Queen Victoria.
From saving churches to hanging a portrait of Oliver Cromwell upside down in his lavatory and dedicating a chapel to the blessed martyr King Charles 1st, who was Prince Frederick Duleep Singh?
During his death centenary year, let's learn more about the brother of Princesses Sophia, Catherine, Bamba Duleep Singh (half brother to Princesses Pauline, and Irene Duleep Singh, and brother-in-law to Lady Anne Coventry, Princess Victor Duleep Singh).
Remember the Prince of everyday people, the brother who chose an everyday life of quiet purpose.
