Palden Thondup Namgyal was the hereditary ruler of the independent Kingdom of Sikkim, located in the eastern Himalayas. He ruled the kingdom from 1963 to 1975, when it was annexed by India. Queen Hope Cooke was an American woman who became the queen consort of Sikkim through her marriage to Palden Thondup Namgyal in 1963. She was a controversial figure in Sikkimese politics.
Хоуп Кук родилась в Сан-Франциско в семье ирландско-американского отца, Джона Дж. Кука, летного инструктора, и Хоуп Нойес, пилота-любителя. В 1959 году Кук был первокурсником по востоковедению в колледже Сары Лоуренс и жил в квартире с актрисой Джейн Александер. Она отправилась в летнюю поездку в Индию и встретила Палдена Тондупа Намгьяла, наследного принца Сиккима, в отеле в Дарджилинге, Индия. 20 марта 1963 года Кук вышла замуж за Намгьяла, который вскоре стал последним королем Сиккима, в буддийском монастыре на церемонии, проведенной четырнадцатью ламами. Среди гостей свадьбы были члены королевской семьи Индии, индийские и сиккимские генералы, а также посол США в Индии Джон Кеннет Гэлбрейт. К 1973 году и страна, и их брак рушились: Сикким был аннексирован Индией. Через пять месяцев после начала захвата Сиккима Кук вернулся в Соединенные Штаты.
Alice S. Kandell is an American child psychologist, author, photographer and art collector interested in Himalayan culture. She worked extensively in the Indian state of Sikkim as a photographer, capturing approximately 15,000 color slides, as well as black-and-white photographs, between 1965 and 1979. She initially visited Sikkim in 1965 to attend the coronation ceremony of Hope Cooke, an American woman who married Palden Thondup Namgyal, King of Sikkim. At his request, she started a photograph project to illustrate how he and his wife favoured education and local businesses in Sikkim to benefit its culture. She is the author or co-author of two books, (with text by Charlotte Salisbury), and a book for children, called Sikkim: The Hidden Kingdom. Her private collection of Tibetan art was covered in A Shrine for Tibet: The Alice S. Kandell Collection of Tibetan Sacred Art, by Marylin Rhie and Robert Thurman, with photographs by John Bigelow Taylor. In 2011, she donated a collection of Tibetan art to the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian, and about 300 pictures to the Library of Congress.
