專家說明

Maharaja Duleep Singh Sukerchakia (d. 1893) was the last Maharaja of Sikh Raj. He was exiled to London in 1854, after being dethroned and his country annexed by the British Raj in 1849. Duleep Singh was welcomed into the European court by Queen Victoria. He bought Elveden in 1863 and proceeded to transform the estate into an efficient game preserve and the house into an Oriental palace where he lived the life of a British aristocrat.
