Charles Vyner de Windt Brooke (1874-1963) succeeded his father, Sir Charles Johnson Brooke, in 1917 as the third and last ‘White’ Rajah of Sarawak. He abdicated in 1946 when Sarawak was ceded to Britain as a Crown Colony. The state gained its independence on 22 July 1963 and on 16 September 1963 it was admitted into the Federation of Malaysia.
