===Reunion with his mother=== When he was 18, Singh wrote to his mother in [[Kathmandu]], suggesting that she should join him in [[Great Britain]], but his letter was intercepted by the British authorities in India and did not reach her. He then sent a courier, Pundit [[Nehemiah Goreh]], who was also intercepted and forbidden to contact the Maharani. Duleep Singh then decided to go himself. Under cover of a letter from Login he wrote to the [[British Resident]] in Kathmandu, who reported that the Maharani had 'much changed, was blind and had lost much of the energy which formerly characterised her.' The British government decided she was no longer a threat and she was allowed to join her son on 16 January 1861 at Spence's Hotel in [[Kolkata|Calcutta]] and return with him to England.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/details/ladyloginsrecoll00logirich |title=Lady Login's Recollections |pages=207, 208 (Chapter XIV) |last1=Login |first1=Lady Lena Campbell |date=1916 |website=California Digital Library |publisher=Smith, Elder & Co |access-date=18 July 2014}}</ref>
