“Maya Bello-Taylor (Oct 1, 2023) Princess Ademola - the African Princess who served as a nurse during wartime BritainRetrieved Jan 19 2025”

“Ademola's patients apparently called her "fairy" as a term of endearment. "Everyone was very kind to me", she told journalists at the time.”

“‘Nurse Ademola’ played an important part in this as a uniquely feminine perspective. It ‘depicted an African nurse at various phases of training at one of the great London hospitals’, it was said to have inspired many African viewers at its screenings across West Africa.”

““Princess Ademola was obviously a strong-minded person. I think any Black woman who came to England at that time, and was successful, should be recognised and applauded. They showed such bravery. She was beautiful, she was a royal, so could perhaps have been anything she wanted to be, but she chose to be a nurse."”

““Princess Ademola is an historical role model for anyone entering the nursing profession and those who have committed their working lives to caring for others.””

““Everyone was very kind to me.””
