The Last Princesses of Punjab

An exhibition at Kensington Palace that follows the lives of Princess Sophia of Punjab and the women who shaped her, set out through their personal stories.

The exhibition focuses on Princess Sophia and the women around her, among them her sisters, her mother, her grandmother and her godmother. Through their personal stories, it looks at the roles these women played and the contributions they made within royalty and power.

The display is held at Kensington Palace, the royal residence in London that hosts exhibitions and cultural events. Visitors move through the displays at their own pace during the opening period, following the family's story from one generation to the next.

The subject suits visitors interested in royal history, in the lives of women in court circles, and in the personal side of the Punjab royal family. The material presented centres on individual lives rather than on wider political events, so the visit works as a close look at one family's story.
