Princess Catherine Hilda Duleep Singh, a British-born Sikh princess, defied conventional norms during World War II by quietly resisting Nazi Germany and openly living with her female partner. The daughter of the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire, her legacy gained recognition thanks to biographer Peter Bance, who has dedicated over two decades to research the Duleep Singh family. Despite her impactful actions not being documented for self-promotion, they have significantly influenced many families across the world, showcasing her contributions to women's rights and social change.
She didn't do these things for self-promotion, so the stories weren't in books or anything. Her stories have survived through the people she saved. Her intervention at that time have seen families across the world thrive.
Catherine's childhood home, Elveden Hall, reflects not just her royal roots, but the radical path she chose in openly living with her female partner and supporting suffragette movements.
