Jaipur’s Padmanabh Singh speaks about His Life as a Royal

Padmanabh: A brief of royalty, schooling, polo playing and surprising friends

Jaipur's youngest Maharaja Padmanabh Singh, who belongs to the royal family of Jaipur, gets candid and talks about the demands of being a royal ruler and also about his experience while living like a commoner even after being Jaipur's Maharaja.

“I never introduced myself as a royal while studying abroad”, says Padmanabh. The young Maharaja was anxious on representing the Rajasthan Polo Team at international level in a series of exhibition matches in the United States of America. He also holds an experience of playing with Prince William. The young Maharaja surprised his friends with his 'oh-so-royal' look on his 18th birthday, which was followed by his crowning as the royal ruler­.

On being the youngest Maharaja:

Padmanabh expressed, "There is a lot of responsibility and a bit of pressure to act as an ambassador for my family as well as Jaipur especially when I am representing the city abroad. On the other hand, I also feel privileged. There are a lot of perks too, people recognise you everywhere. But you can't really be free. There is always a pressure to be at your best behaviour."
