Victoria Gouramma

Victoria Gouramma (sometimes spelt Gowramma in India or Gauromma in British newspapers of the period; 4 July 1841 – 30 March 1864) was an Indian princess.

Gowramma was baptised into the Church of England on 5 July 1852 in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace, by John Bird Sumner, Archbishop of Canterbury.

[3][4] In 1865, the Queen commissioned German painter Franz Xaver Winterhalter to paint a portrait of Gouramma for the Princesses’ (now Principal) corridor at Buckingham Palace.

There was an expectation that she would be a suitable wife for Duleep Singh, another deposed member of royalty, but he announced he intended to marry an Englishwoman.

[7] Having emigrated to Australia and died in 1936, Henry Victor Rajendra’s descendants there include a great-granddaughter, Natashya, who has since visited their ancestral seat.
