The “Last Princesses of Punjab” exhibition, centered on the life of Punjabi princess and suffragette Sophia Duleep Singh and five women who shaped her life, is now on display at Kensington Palace in London.
The exhibition opened March 26 and explores the lives of Sophia, her sisters Catherine and Bamba, her mother Bamba Müller, grandmother Jind Kaur, and her godmother, Queen Victoria.
Created to mark Sophia’s 150th birth anniversary, the exhibition highlights themes of womanhood, power, and royalty, while examining how identity and heritage shaped the causes these women championed.

It is also the first time Kensington Palace is presenting an intimate, multi-generational narrative of six women connected through the history of the British Empire.
The exhibition features rare objects, audiovisual displays, and contemporary interpretations to present the relationships between the women and their roles within the empire.
Gurpreet Singh Anand, president of Khalsa Jatha British Isles, announced the opening on X, noting the organization’s role in supporting the exhibition.
“Khalsa Jatha British Isles, Europe’s oldest gurdwara, was founded in 1908 by visionary Sikhs to preserve our faith and heritage in the U.K. We are immensely proud to have supported this powerful exhibition, honoring the extraordinary stories of Sophia Duleep Singh and the Punjabi princesses who shaped history,” he wrote.
