The links between two women of colour and Queen Victoria are being showcased in a new play.
She's Royal tells the story of Sarah Forbes Bonetta and Sophia Duleep Singh and how they became goddaughters to the monarch.
"This is not a story just about and for women of colour, this is a story for everyone," director Lorna Laidlaw said.
The play will get its premiere at Birmingham Hippodrome on Tuesday and Wednesday and will also be on at Wolverhampton Grand on 1 November.
