✦AI Summary
An exhibition at Kensington Palace titled 'The Last Princesses of Punjab' explores the lives of the daughters of Maharaja Duleep Singh. The display uses personal artifacts to examine themes of exile, identity, and the complex relationship between the British Crown and the deposed Sikh royalty.
On the front cover of Sikh historian Peter Bance’s The Last Royals of Lahore , Princess Catherine is captured in a studio portrait of quiet, distant contemplation. Her head is draped loosely in shimmering silk; her necklaces and pearls radiate an old-world opulence that seems to weigh heavily upon her.
