Not long ago, the Thai media released the imperial decree issued by the King of Thailand Maha Vajiralongkorn on August 29, restoring all the royal titles of the original "concubine" Sineenat Wongvajirirapakdi (Sineenat wongvajirirapakdi) , The military position, rank, and medals in the palace are deemed to have not been deprived of all the above, and it will take effect on August 28.
If you don’t know the story of the Thai royal family, you may be a little confused when you see this news. What is going on? Today’s [Millions of Life] will start from the beginning.
First of all, I will give you popular science under the Thai royal family.
When it comes to constitutional monarchy countries, everyone should think of European countries headed by the United Kingdom the first time. In fact, Thailand is not only a constitutional monarchy, but also one of the richest royal families in the world.
Thai royal family
In the rankings of the richest royal families published by Forbes in 2008 and 2011, the Thai royal family ranked first.
Just last year, it still topped the list with 30 billion U.S. dollars (approximately RMB 205.2 billion) in assets in the world's richest royals published by Business Insider.
In fact, the assets of the Thai royal family may be far more than this.
According to estimates by the British Financial Times, in terms of equity, the wealth managed by the Royal Assets Administration of Thailand is at least US$40 billion (approximately RMB 273.6 billion), which is the market value of Thailand’s largest listed company, PTT. More than twice.
Old King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit
What is the concept of 40 billion US dollars? Everybody is familiar with Queen Elizabeth II's assets at about 530 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 75 times the wealth of the Queen's assets.
The reason why it is so rich is that the Thai royal family owns the ownership of 6,560 hectares of land in Thailand. There are 40,000 land lease contracts across the country, and there are 17,000 in the capital Bangkok alone. Some of them are located in prime locations in the heart of the business district. , It has a considerable income every year by collecting rent alone.
According to "Time" magazine, the Thai royal family also owns the world's largest cut diamond-the Golden Majesty Diamond. This diamond weighs about 545 carats, which is about 109 grams, which is about the weight of two eggs.
Although the Thai royal family is so rich, not all the women who married into this royal family lead a happy and happy life like a fairy tale.
The country of Thailand is a bit special. Although Thailand has legally recognized only one official wife since 1935, the Thai people actually do not oppose polygamy.
The current king Vajiralongkorn has had five official spouses since 1977, and the story of each of them is more exciting than TV series.
Current king of Thailand
On January 3, 1977, Maha Vajiralongkorn married his first wife, and his close cousin, Princess Soamsawali Kitiyakara (Soamsawali Kitiyakara), and they had a daughter. Princess Bajrakitiyabha.
The marriage was in vain. Not long after the marriage, Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn began living with the actress Yuvadhida Polpraserth.
Although Princess Songsavali refused to divorce for many years, Vajiralongkorn still filed a divorce lawsuit in the family court in January 1993. In court proceedings, Vajiralongkorn accused Princess Songsavali of being fully responsible for this failed marriage. As Thai law prohibits offending the monarch, she cannot refute these allegations.
Maha Vajiralongkorn and Songsavali Kittiyakorn
The two finally completed the divorce procedures in July 1993 and officially separated.
But to this day, Princess Songsavali and her daughter still have a pivotal position in the Thai royal family.
The king and his daughter, Princess Phacharaji Diyapa (first from left)
In February 1994, shortly after the divorce procedure was completed, Vajiralongkorn immediately married actress Yuva Tida and gave birth to five children with her.
But this marriage also failed to have a happy ending. After Yuva Tida was charged with Vajiralongkorn, he fled abroad with his children and was deprived of his Thai passport and royal title.
Only one daughter who was kidnapped by Lalongkorn came back and won the title of princess, that is, Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana, who is now often active in fashion circles.
On February 10, 2001, Vajiralongkorn married for the third time and married Prince Srirasmi Mahidol na Ayuthaya (Srirasmi Mahidol na Ayuthaya), and they had one son.
Sirami was born as a civilian and has been with Vajiralongkorn since 1992, but the marriage was not announced to the public until early 2005.
At that time, Sirami was very much loved by Vajiralongkorn. Not only did she often take her to attend diplomatic events, but the image of the civilian princess also narrowed the distance with the people.
In an interview shortly after the birth of his son, the romantic Vajiralongkorn even stated that he wanted to settle down.
Who knows the story of dog blood happened again.
In November 2014, Vajiralongkorn sent a letter to the Ministry of the Interior, requesting the deprivation of the royal surname Akharaphongpreecha granted to Sirami and her family because her seven close relatives, including three brothers, were suspected of corruption.
Soon after, Sirami was deprived of his royal title and surname, demoted to a commoner, and formally divorced from Vajiralongkorn, and was therefore forced to leave his son.
The fourth wife of Vajiralongkorn is the current queen Suthida Vajiralongkorn Na Ayudhya.
On May 1, 2019, 3 days before the king’s coronation ceremony, Vajiralongkorn canonized his royal spouse, General Sutida Vajiralongkorn as Queen Sutida, and officially authenticated Sutida’s queen status , The wedding ceremony was announced.
Queen Suthida was originally a flight attendant. Since 2013, she joined the Royal Guard as a bodyguard of Lalongkorn. She was also named a general. After that, she accompanied the king to many events as a partner.
However, just three months later, on July 28, Vajiralongkorn married his 33-year-old girlfriend, Sinina Pirasaganyani, at his 67-year-old birthday party ( Sininat Philatkalayanee), making her the officially certified fifth spouse of the king, and awarded the title of "Chao Khun Phra", which can be understood as the "noble concubine" in the ancient Chinese royal family.
This is the first time since 1932 that the Thai royal family publicly recognized polygamy.
It is estimated that you have seen a lot of the story of this "concubine" this time.
Not only did Sinina ask the king to break the monogamy for her within three months, she was also deprived of her title and military rank for "disrespect to the queen and unfaithful to the king" three months later, and was imprisoned. Women's prison.
When everyone thought that the royal road of the "noble concubine" had ended here, the reversal appeared again.
Less than a year after being imprisoned, the King of Thailand amnesty the world on the grounds of birthday, and pardons Sinina, and, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, restored all royal titles, palace military posts, military ranks and medals. .
Just after she got out of prison, Sinina received a special plane from Germany to reunite with the king. The king even picked up the plane personally. One can imagine how much this "concubine" was favored.
After watching the love story of the King of Thailand, which is more exciting than the TV series, everyone should understand why I said earlier that the women who married into this royal family did not all lead a happy and happy life like a fairy tale.
of course there are exceptions.
She is the king's mother, Queen Sirikit Kitiyakara (Sirikit Kitiyakara).
King Bhumibol's Family
The love between Bhumibol Adulyadej (Bhumibol Adulyadej) and Queen Sirikit Kittiyakorn, the father of the old king who is widely loved by the people, is a contemporary fairy tale.
In 1946, Bhumibol became king, succeeding his elder brother who had died.
At only 19 years old, he is assertive, capable and courageous. Received a good education since childhood, proficient in multiple languages, good at jazz performance, piano, flute, can compose music by himself, can paint oil painting, and is also a good at speedboat and sailing.
Sirikit who can attract such a king is naturally excellent.
Sirikit came from an aristocratic family, and his father was a diplomat, so she followed her parents to receive education in Britain, Denmark, France and other countries since childhood.
In France, King Bhumibol and Sirikit met. Sirikit served as an escort when the King visited France once, and took King Bhumibol to visit Paris. Similar growth background and common interests made the two The young people came together naturally.
Unlike his son, King Bhumibol is a dedicated person, keeping the promise of marrying only one person in his life. For 66 years, he has become a troubled couple with Queen Sirikit.
In the early days of King Bhumibol's reign, Thailand was not stable. During his 70 years of ruling Thailand, he had experienced 20 coups, but no matter what difficulties he encountered, the two of them worked hand in hand.
King Bhumibol named Sirikit the regent queen and asked her to participate in politics with him. Whenever they visit, it is a picture of two people in the same frame, meeting the people together, accepting respect and love.
Whether it is royal love or ordinary people's love, what kind of love can be defined as "good love", perhaps everyone can get an answer of their own after reading the stories of the two kings of Thailand.
The end of fairy tales always ends abruptly after "the prince and princess live a happy life", no one has told you the story afterwards.
Real life is often not as fairy tale as it seems. Behind the enviable luxurious aristocratic life may be the bitterness and hardship that ordinary people do not know. Although it is the story of a prince and princess, the marriage of the royal family CP is sometimes more like rewriting a fairy tale. Become a large-scale realistic documentary.
The real "right to the door" is not only the match between family status and strength, but also the match between the three views and the spiritual world. However, the formation of the Three Views is inseparable from the education and training of the native family as well as the experience and knowledge. Therefore, people with similar backgrounds are more likely to become each other's "soul mate" and harvest "good love."
