The life story of Queen Suthida of Thailand

Among the foreign royal members who attended the coronation ceremony of King Charles III of the United Kingdom last year, the most splendidly dressed was undoubtedly Queen Consort Suthida of Thailand. Adorned with a large sapphire necklace matched with matching earrings, with a diamond brooch sparkling at her waist. Her triumphant smile made her appear unexpectedly domineering, despite her previous gentle and obedient demeanor. At such a moment, who still remembers that also in London, during the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 2012, by the side of King Maha Vajiralongkorn was his then-wife, Princess Srirasmi. Wearing the same traditional Thai attire, with the same charming face and graceful figure, eleven years have passed, and much has changed. So, how did Suthida, as the fourth wife of the Thai king, manage to supplant her predecessor, Srirasmi, and then rise above the other palace beauties to become queen? Today, let's delve into her story.
