The narrative from Lord Mountbatten is quite fascinating. https://www.livehistoryindia.com/in-the-news/2020/05/16/lost-treasures-of-the-rampur-nawabs Previous Message Fascinating article.

Re: Oops! I forgot to attach the link! Posted by Beth on August 30, 2020, 6:45 pm, in reply to "Oops! I forgot to attach the link!" What an interesting article! Thank you so much Janet! I really appreciate reading articles such as that. Now I am hungry for more information. What happened to all the jewels? Did the diamonds mentioned by Mountbatten even exist? There are just so many questions. If the details of breaking into the strong room are correct, jewellery thieves would have had no chance!

Re: Princess of Rampur Jewels Posted by The Royal Watcher on August 31, 2020, 5:08 am, in reply to "Lost Treasures of the Rampur Nawabs" Thanks for sharing the article! Princess Naghat of Rampur (mentioned in the article) has done quite a few interviews, including this documentary series in which she first showed how to cook traditional food and decorate the table, and then sat for an official portrait with her daughters, in which we saw them trying on different outfits and wearing their best jewels. Sadly, the full video is no longer online, but you can see a glimpse of the magnificent jewels in the first video and the first minute of the second video! They may have lost the state treasures but are not short on personal jewels!
