Sara Forbes Bonetta, an Egbado princess of the Yoruba people in West Africa and the godchild of Queen Victoria.

She was sold into slavery aged five and presented as a "diplomatic gift" to Captain Frederick Forbes brought to England. There, she met Queen Victoria: "Victoria was so affected by this little girl arriving she wrote about it in her diary and took her under her wing, paid for her education and took an interest in her and her daughter for the rest of their lives."

There are several back figures that have played a significant role in England's most recognizable landmarks that are unknown, and Sarah Forbes Bonetta is one of them.
