Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, Princess Srirasmi and family: Jan 2006-

[purple_platinum]

I have another question, according to wikipedia, the king & queen have 4 children, 1 styled crownprince, 1 styled crownprincess & 2 styled princess.. but isn't the crownprince married, and wouldn't this make his wife crownprincess...

Wikipedia:

• HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, born July 28, 1952;
• HRH Crown Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, born April 2, 1955;

obviously wikipedia made mistake on this site.. as Princess Sirindhorn is the Crown Prince's younger sister.

The Crown Prince's current wife is not styled as Crown Princess but Mom Srirasmi Mahidol na Ayudhya, but in short she's called Princess Srirasmi

and i just have to post this cute picture of the new son for Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn & Princess Srirasmi born on 2005

btw, she is a granddaughter of King Bhumibol, isn't she?

Princess Siriwanwari is the fifth child of the Crown Prince and his first wife.
She must be in special favour by the King because last year he raised her to Royal Highness, while her four brothers remain Serene Highnesses.

great pictures! I love it! the baby is so cute

 

[purple_platinum]

Mandyy, thanks very much for these pictures.
I can't believe there's so many pictures of the little boy.
It seems like he will be the successor for the Crown Prince in many years to come, and probably being groomed up to be Thai's future king.
He really looks very adorable.. since the day he was born (with lots of hair..)

 

[Eliza]

I've not been a follower of the Thai Royal Family and hence i ask this questions..pls forgive me if the question comes across a little dumb..

Has the CP Maha Vajiralongkorn been married before? Is Pss Srirasmi is second wife? And if so, where and who is his first wife - did something happen to that marriage or is this part of the old tradition that allows the CP to take more than 1 wife?

 

[ysamnuan]

His first wife is PSS Somsawali, mother of Pss Bhajarakitiyapa the eldest daughter of CP. After divorced she still keep her royal title and enjoyed her life. She can be seen in many state ceromonies even in the King's diamond jubilee. In many occasion the King and Queen appointed her to be their majesties representative in many gala parties.
The second wife is Yuwathida, actually CP never married with her just a long affair that resulted 4 sons and 1 daughter. After seperate their relationship, CP send his ex-lover and 4 sons to live in USA. CP keeps only the daughter, Pss Sririwanwaree.
After being single for about 5 years, CP married again with the present wife, PSS Srirassamee.

 

[Eliza]

Thanks for the explanation ysamnuan!
And welcome to the forum!

 

[april]

[ysamnuan]

Wikipedia:

Wikipedia is correct. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is indeed titled as Crown Princess. This was by special proclamation by the Thai King. It's a special title for her personally. Thai royal titles have a large range of grades.

The Crown Prince's present wife doesn't have the title Crown Princess as others have noted. As in many Asian or Arab monarchies, titles are not automatically bestowed on the wife of Kings or Princes, unlike European monarchies (usually). So the wife of the Moroccan King is not called Queen. The rulers in the Malaysian states have different titles for their consorts, and for their heirs & their wives.

Princess Srirasmi is 35 years old.

thanks.. it is very interesting, Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is Crown Princess.. That does make some interesting discussions, don't you think?

 

[iparity]

I would like to confirm that the title of Princess Sirindhorn is not the Crown Princess. Her title is "H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn"


On December 5, 1977, She has been elevated from H.R.H. Princess Sirindhorn to the higher rank at H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Siridhorn, But not the Crown Princess. I think it may be the same as the Princess Royal of England


Pls. see the nametag at the recent royal banquet on June 13,2006

 

[Emily]

So it is certain that the son will inherit the throne? From what has been written about Princess Sirindhorn and Princess ?Chulaborn they seem like they have done alot more with their lives than the Crown Prince has -- do others think that or not?

 

[krissy_au]

no, it is not certain and this subject is not to be disscussed in thailand and nobody knows who's going to take the throne either. we need to be aware that the royal family of thailand is quite different and unique.

i don't know if others think or not but they surely don't discuss.

 

[Emily]

Can you clarify what you mean by "we need to be aware that the royal family of thailand is quite different and unique"? And are there risks to individual citizens in discussing the succession to the throne? You are not the first person to write in such a way that it makes me think it is risky to speculate about this.

 

[krissy_au]

I was so sure that I wasn't the first one. Believe me most Thais won't talk about this or even bother to explain to anyone. I'm part Thai myself and I feel uncomfortable talking about this topic like they say Thais have nothing but nice things to say about their royal family and that includes every member.

Sorry if you think I don't try to answer.

For more clear Infomation, These are the Emerald Buddha's robes for all three seasons. All the robes are made of gold and decorated with diamond and precious gems. The first set of three robe was made during the early of Chakri Dynasty (Between King Rama I-III) and the current set was made to Celebrate the Golden Jubilee of H.M. King Bhumibol

Thank you for the photos, iparity. The robes are quite elaborate and beautiful. Where is the Buddha housed? In Bangkok? Is the statue open to the public for reverence?
