    Couldn’t share the news with you before, but Princess Sophia Duleep Singh will finally get the recognition she deserves. Six new blue plaques have been granted for 2023. The Princess, suffragette and revolutionary will have her plaque on her grace and favour home at Hampton Court

    Even in old age, the Hampton Court Princess suffragette fought the good fight. She took in evacuees and protected them like a lioness would her cubs. I know this because I spoke to them. That is how recent her history is. Sophia Duleep Singh was one of a kind…

    Well I took a long time, but thanks to @LondonU, my mothers dream came true and she can finally tell her friends I’m a doctor! So grateful to the Vice Chancellor, Pro Vice Chancellor and faculty members for my honorary doctorate. And congratulations to all graduating today!

    Eight years ago today @DalrympleWill and I launched our Kohinoor book … not quite the actual start of a beautiful friendship… friends before that … but a partnership that has brought @EmpirePodUK into the world. Thank you all for listening to our prattle! We appreciate you!

    Happy birthday to my brilliant mate and partner in crime @DalrympleWill - Master of the awkward pause! I love this picture of us, holding a replica of the Kohinoor diamond shortly before dropping it and watching it roll under heavy furniture… 1/2

    Massive drumroll pls! @EmpirePodUK returns to India with a sneak peak at @DalrympleWill’s forthcoming book The Golden Road! It tells the story of India as the forgotten heart of the ancient world. From about 250 BC to 1200 AD, India created vast empire of ideas, an ‘Indosphere’
