About this person

Born Mom Rajawongse Sirikit Kitiyakara on 12 August 1932, she met Bhumibol Adulyadej in Paris, where her father served as Thai ambassador to France. They married in 1950, weeks before his coronation as Rama IX, making her Queen of Thailand at seventeen. In 1956 she was appointed queen regent while the King temporarily ordained as a Buddhist monk. The couple had four children: Ubol Ratana, Vajiralongkorn (who would become Rama X), Sirindhorn, and Chulabhorn. As Bhumibol's reign stretched across decades - one of the longest in world history - she became the world's longest-serving queen consort. A stroke in 2012 ended her public appearances. She died on 24 October 2025 at ninety-three.
