English Heritage has erected a blue plaque at Princess Sophia Duleep Singh's former London home. Born in 1876, she was Queen Victoria's goddaughter and the daughter of the last ruler of the Sikh empire.
"Her fortitude is something that should not be forgotten, and it is only right that we should see it in a plaque so that young girls when they walk past might ask, 'who was she?'"
The princess was summoned to court several times and fined for abstaining from personal licences on jewellery, dogs and a carriage.
