Image description

The youngest son of Maharaja Runjit Singh, Dalip Singh (1838-93) was declared Maharaja of the Punjab at the age of five in 1843. Following the British annexation of the territory in 1849 he was forced to renounce all claims of sovereignty in exchange for a British government pension of £40,000 per year. He converted to Christianity in 1853 and settled in England in 1854. In July that year he sat to Winterhalter for the well-known full length portrait commissioned by Queen Victoria. He adopted the life of a country squire, buying a house, Hatherop in Gloucestershire, and renting a sporting estate in Scotland. He eventually became disaffected and embittered with the British, reverted to Sikhism and launched a renewed claim on the Punjab. Although he had plans to return to India he died in France in 1893, having latterly achieved a reconciliation with Queen Victoria.
