Preamble:
Royal family is a word that makes people very unfamiliar. Because in the vast majority of countries around the world, the royal family has been abolished, and people advocate free and equal relations. However, in countries such as Denmark, Japan, and Thailand, they still have royal families. The story of the royal family always makes people curious, and the story of the legendary queen Sirikit of the Thai royal family is the most interesting.
1. First acquaintance with her husband
Sirikit was born in a famous family, her father is a descendant of the Thai royal family, and her mother is also from a famous family.
Unlike other ordinary people, Sirikit grew up living and traveling with her father to many countries, and her father fulfilled his duties as a national ambassador, while Sirikit took her life experience to the next level through these experiences of visiting the world.
If Sirikit had stayed abroad to grow up and work, get married and have children, her life would have been very uneventful and happy. However, fate is like to play tricks on people, and when Sirikit was in her twenties, the then Prince Bhumibol of Thailand came to France for a visit, and Sirikit was entrusted by her father to receive the noble royal family.
After spending some time with Sirikit, Bhumibol was impressed by Sirikit's excellent conversation and talent. For Bhumibol, if he can marry Sirikit, it will definitely be the best thing in his life.
Sirikit is well-informed abroad and does not have a special filter for members of the royal family like ordinary people. Although Bhumibol is a prince, the person he likes doesn't like him, and he has nothing to do. However, the sky paid off, and a car accident made it possible for the relationship between the two to change.
During Bhumibol's stay in France, there was an unexpected car accident, and Sirikit, as a receptionist, couldn't get rid of the relationship, so Sirikit often came to the hospital to visit and take care of Bhumibol. It wasn't until Bhumibol recovered from his illness that he was about to leave France, and the two finally confirmed their relationship.
2. Sirikit's life as a queen
Before Bhumibol officially held the enthronement ceremony, Bhumibol and Sirikit held a grand wedding ceremony. Before the marriage, Bhumibol assured Sirikit that his sincerity would never deteriorate. The 18-year-old Sirikit smiled so brightly at Bhumibol's promise that no one could have imagined that the relationship between the two would take a turn for the worse.
After becoming the queen of Thailand, Sirikit has a lot to think about. Not only did she have to take care of her husband and children, but she also had to fulfill her duties as a queen, often accompanying her husband on his rounds. However, the queen's tasks and responsibilities are great, but Sirikit has done it all well.
For a time, the title of "the most beautiful queen in Asia" was popular all over the country. In the face of the love of the people, Sirikit turned this love into motivation and handled government affairs more attentively. However, Queen Sirikit was very conscientious in her middle age, but in the later period, there were many rifts between Sirikit and Bhumibol in family relationships.
3. Addicted to plastic surgery and making mistakes
Sirikit was very beautiful when she was young, and this appearance made her once praised by many people. But beauty is easy to age, no one can always keep their appearance unchanged, and after entering middle age, the increasingly loose skin makes Sirikit anxious.
She was already worried about her growing old day by day, and the changes in her husband Bhumibol made her even more painful. As a king, Bhumibol faced no small amount of pressure, and he experienced dozens of changes during his decades as king. Every time he deals with state affairs, it is a challenge for him.
Many people are eyeing the position of King of Thailand, and Bhumibol's personality has become moody under years of pressure. Although Sirikit is his beloved wife, the two are often unable to communicate when they are emotionally out of control. Sirikit was unfamiliar with such a Bhumibol, but there was no way to make her husband well. After years of quarrels, the relationship between the husband and wife gradually broke down. Sirikit unexpectedly falls in love with her male bodyguard.
Even in order to make her appearance more suitable for the male bodyguard, Sirikit repeatedly asked the doctor to perform facial plastic surgery for herself. After some manipulation, Sirikit's appearance was rejuvenated. However, paper can't contain the fire after all, and Bhumibol soon discovers Sirikit's affair with the male bodyguard.
Bhumibol ordered the male bodyguard to be executed and sent Sirikit to the hospital for two years of recuperation. After being re-discharged from the hospital, Sirikit became cold again, although on the surface she would handle state affairs with Bhumibol, but for her husband, Sirikit actually had no love, and in the face of Bhumibol's familiar face, Sirikit became like a stone, and just wanted to respect her former lover as a guest.
4. Elect a son as king
In addition to their love lives, Sirikit and Bhumibol also have serious differences over the appointment of the crown prince. Sirikit had four children in her life, in fact, her youngest son Vajiralongkorn was the most loved by her, and her husband Bhumibol loved Sirindhorn the most. Because among the children of the royal couple, the princess showed her aura from an early age.
Bhumibol wanted to let the wise princess inherit the throne of Thailand so that Thailand's national power could be further enhanced, but Sirikit strongly opposed this. The youngest son is a hard-won treasure in her eyes, since Vajiralongkorn was born, Sirikit regarded the throne as an item of Vajiralongkorn, and now her husband wants his daughter to inherit the throne, which Sirikit does not allow.
In order to successfully enthrone her son, Sirikit used almost all the resources at her disposal to make enemies of her family. In fact, her son Vajiralongkorn was indeed not the material to be a king, and there were many scandals before he ascended the throne, but unfortunately, under the extreme doting of his mother, Vajiralongkorn still successfully held the enthronement ceremony. Today's Sirikit is nearly 80 years old, and the frequent plastic surgery in her early years has left a lot of sequelae on her, and the dark spots on her face can no longer be hidden.
Epilogue:
Sirikit's life can definitely be called ups and downs, happy marriage in his early years, indulging in plastic surgery in middle age and making mistakes, and insisting on promoting his son to the throne in his later years. She used to be the most beautiful queen in Asia, but under the erosion of time, her appearance has long since passed away, and the former person is gone. Looking back on her life, will Queen Sirikit regret the choices she made?
Maybe you will regret it, maybe you won't regret it, and no one can know the final answer. In any case, Sirikit is now in her 80s, and everything in the past has become a thing of the past for her.
