The Last Princesses of Punjab

An exhibition at Kensington Palace on the lives of Princess Sophia of Punjab and the women who shaped her life, told through their personal stories.

This exhibition at Kensington Palace focuses on Princess Sophia and the women around her, among them her sisters, her mother, her grandmother and her godmother. Its subject is the family's place within royalty and power, and the display traces the roles these women played and the contributions they made.

The exhibition is built around personal stories rather than a single chronological narrative, so visitors follow each woman's life and the way their experiences connect to Sophia's own. The material describes the visit as a way to learn about these roles through individual lives.

The display suits visitors interested in royal history, in the Sikh and Punjabi heritage of the family, and in the lives of women within the court. Kensington Palace is a royal palace in west London, and this season's exhibition takes place within its historic setting.
