"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.

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".

She was often seen selling The Suffragette newspaper outside her home at Hampton Court Palace.
