When I began working on the The Last Queen of Jaipur, I had no idea that it would end up as my final tribute to the legendary Rajmata Gayatri Devi of Jaipur.

The project started with great keenness though there was just a little bit of concern as to how we could make it different from the other two books – her autobiography titled A Princess Remembers and the biography that I’d done a few years ago - Enduring Grace. But after the initial apprehension we didn’t let it bother us too much and spent many happy hours going through the photo albums and letters and re-visiting the different periods in her life.
