Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Maharaja Dalip Singh, GCSI (6 September 1838, Lahore, Sikh Empire - 22 October 1893, Paris, France), later in life also nicknamed Black Prince of Perthshire, was the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. He was the youngest son of the legendary "Lion of the Punjab" Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Maharani Jind Kaur, and came to power after a series of intrigues, in which several other claimants to the throne and to the Koh-i-Noor diamond, killed each other. After his exile to Britain at age 13 following the British annexation of the Punjab, he was befriended by Queen Victoria. In June 1850, Lord Dalhousie presented the Kohinoor Diamond by Dalip Singh after it was confiscated by the British Raj. From that date the diamond became part of the Crown Jewels, set in the Crown of Queen Elizabeth and on display in the Jewel House in the Tower of London. Dalip Singh was much admired by Queen Victoria who is reported to have written "Those eyes and those teeth are too beautiful" about the Punjabi maharajah. She was also the godmother to several of his children.
