<br />
Prince Frederick was born in [[London]] as the second or third<ref>Note: sources are conflicting whether he was the 2nd or the 3rd son.</ref> son of [[Duleep Singh|Sir Duleep Singh]] and [[Bamba Müller]], the former [[Maharaja]] and [[Maharani]] Duleep of [[Lahore]]. He was educated at [[Eton College|Eton]] and [[Magdalene College, Cambridge]] where he read History ([[Bachelor of Arts|B.A.]] 1890; [[Master of Arts (Oxbridge and Dublin)|M.A.]] 1894).<ref>{{acad|id=DLP887PF|name=Duleep-Singh, Prince Frederick Victor}}</ref> At Cambridge, he was a member of the [[Pitt Club]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Fletcher |first1=Walter Morley |author-link1=Walter Morley Fletcher |title=The University Pitt Club: 1835-1935 |edition=First Paperback |date=2011 |orig-year=1935 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location=Cambridge |isbn=978-1-107-60006-5 |page=90 }}</ref> He was deeply interested in archaeology, contributing articles to various periodicals and became a Fellow of the [[Society of Antiquaries of London|Society of Antiquaries]]. He wrote ''Portraits in Norfolk Houses'' (1929, two volumes) alongside Rev. Edmund Farrer, and with Farrer and his friend [[Charles Partridge (anthropologist)|Charles Partridge]] compiled and published ''Portraits in Suffolk Houses''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=36688|title=Collections Online &#124; British Museum}}</ref> He was East Anglia representative of the [[Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings]] and reported on about 50 historic building cases for it.<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
He lived at [[Old Buckenham]] Hall and for 20 years, at [[Blo' Norton]] Hall near [[Thetford]]. He was a staunch monarchist, possibly due to his father's generous treatment by [[Queen Victoria]], even hanging a portrait of [[Oliver Cromwell]] upside-down in his lavatory at Blo' Norton. His collection of [[Jacobitism|Jacobite]] and [[House of Stuart|Stuart]] relics (and the Cromwell painting) were presented to [[Inverness Museum]]. He gave to the town of Thetford the timber-framed Ancient House (now a museum) together with his collection of portraits.<br />

* Promoted Captain: 19 August 1898.<ref>[http://www.movinghere.org.uk/galleries/roots/asian/servicerecords/britarmy.htm Service Record]</ref><br />
