The Last Prince of Bengal: A Family's Journey from an Indian Palace to the Australian Outback - Softcover
Synopsis
A spellbinding family history.’ Irish Times
The Nawab Nazim was born into one of India’s most powerful royal families. However, by 1880, he was forced to abdicate by British authorities who permanently abolished his titles. The Nawab’s change in fortune marked the end of an era in India and left his secret English family abandoned.
The Last Prince of Bengal tells the true story of the Nawab and his family as they sought by turns to befriend, settle in and eventually escape Britain. From glamourous receptions with Queen Victoria to a scandalous marriage to an English chambermaid; and from Bengal tiger hunts to sheep farming in the harsh Australian outback, Lyn Innes recounts her ancestors’ extraordinary journey from royalty to relative anonymity.
Visiting the extremes of British rule in the age of empire, this is the compelling and intimate story of one family and their place in the defining moments of recent Indian, British and Australian history.
