Victor Duleep Singh

[2] Victor Duleep Singh was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge,[3] where he met Lady Anne Blanche Alice Coventry whom he would later marry.

[4] In February the following year, Singh took a three-month leave of absence from the army to meet his father in Paris, when rumours of unpaid creditors in Halifax became current for the first time.

[6] On the death of his father, Maharaja Sir Duleep Singh, on 23 October 1893, Victor succeeded him as Head of the Royal House of the Punjab.

[7] Although Queen Victoria gave the couple her blessing, she allegedly told Lady Anne to never have children with the Prince.

[9] Singh was declared bankrupt on 4 September 1902, with debts totaling £117,900 (approximately £15.3 million in today's value), despite his £8,250 annual allowance and his wife's income of £2,500.
