From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is The Story on Saturday.
I'm Rosie Wright.
In 1938, as the shadow of the Holocaust spread across Europe,
among many others who took a stand was one extraordinary woman you've probably not heard of.
Catherine Jaleep Singh,
goddaughter of Queen Victoria and daughter of the last Maharaja of Punjab, risked everything.
to bring Jewish families to safety in Britain.
But her story didn't end there.
From royal exile to the front line of the suffragette movement,
Catherine's courage and conviction shaped the lives of countless people.
Today, we uncover her journey, read by the Times history correspondent, Jack Blackburn.
My name is Jack Blackburn, and I'm the history correspondent for The Times.
Today, I'm talking about a story that I've been slightly aware of for years.
That Queen Victoria had a goddaughter who was an Indian princess was something I learnt a few years ago.
It was an eye-catching fact, but there seemed no reason to dwell on it in a story in a newspaper.
But now, historic royal palaces at Kensington Palace are doing an exhibition.
not just on that goddaughter, but on her amazing sisters.
And new material is coming to light for the first time in public.
In one case,
it tells the most extraordinary story about how an Indian princess saved Jews from the Holocaust.
