Sophia Duleep Singh: Princess and suffragette inspires children's book
The " extraordinary" story of an Indian princess and suffragette has been immortalised in a children's book.
Sophia Duleep Singh was a daughter of The Last Sikh ruler of the Punjab, Maharajah Duleep Singh , and grew up in Elveden, on the Norfolk-Suffolk border.
The young princess made history in the early 1900s by risking her royal status to campaign for women's rights.
Author Sufiya Ahmed Said : " We can all relate to this shy but very determined young woman. "
Her book, My Story: Princess Sophia Duleep Singh , for nine to 13-year-olds, has been launched at Ancient House museum in Thetford, Norfolk, which was founded by Sophia's brother, Frederick Duleep Singh , in 1921.
The Maharajah Duleep Singh was exiled to England after his kingdom in the 1840s.
Despite failed attempts to return to India, he used his financial compensation to buy Elveden Hall, where his wife and children then settled.
The Family were Close Friends of Queen Victoria , who later provided them with an apartment at Hampton Court Palace.
Ms Ahmed Said The Princess lived life as a " typical English woman" before " looking for meaning in her life" as she grew older.
She became a committed campaigner for women's rights, and was a member of both The Women 's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and The Women 's Tax Resistance League, whose slogan was " No Vote, No Tax".
In 1910, Princess Sophia led a with prominent suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst , a protest that became known as " Black Friday".
She was often seen selling The Suffragette newspaper outside her home at Hampton Court Palace.
'Fierce morality'Ms Ahmed added: " I never knew about her and I was devastated to learn there was this suffragette who looked Like Me .
" The People we learn about in school, we remember for the rest of our Lives - for me that was Florence Nightingale .
" I hope Her Story will inspire children. She struggled with a sense of belonging as A Woman of colour, but chose England as her home.
" She was shy, but fashionable, very determined and well-liked. She was not the loudest in The Room . "
Princess Sophia died on 22 August 1948, at the Age Of 71.
Melissa Hawker, Norfolk Museums Service learning officer, said royal status Protected - and hindered - The Princess .
" Children love how ardently she pursued what she thought was right, they respond to that fierce morality, " She Said .
" But her position was a two-edged sword.
" This Was a princess of the Punjab, a god-daughter of Queen Victoria and a revolutionary fighter for equality and justice.
" She was extraordinary. "
