May 4 this year marks the fifth anniversary of the coronation of King Rama X of Thailand, Maha Vajiralongkorn. In order to celebrate the arrival of "Coronation Day", Thailand will have a holiday to celebrate, and the 4th is originally a rest day, so the 6th will be designated as a "compensatory holiday". In other words, the Thai people will have a three-day holiday. Long vacation.
Perhaps in order to allow officials to have a better rest, the "Coronation Day" celebration ceremony was held in advance in the Grand Palace on the 3rd. The 71-year-old Rama X and his Queen Suthida sat in the "Golden Palace". chair" to receive congratulations from the courtiers.
Similar activities were held in other places in Thailand that day, but the Thai King could not arrive one by one, so those who did not have the opportunity to enter the palace could only show their loyalty to the coronation of Rama X. At the same time, they would also like to thank the king for the favor given to them.
Compared with usual activities, the ceremony to celebrate the "Coronation Day" was quite lively. At least many family members of the King of Thailand showed up, instead of just Suthida accompanying him as usual.
You can see Princess Sirindhorn, one of the younger sisters of the King of Thailand, appearing. The 69-year-old princess seems to focus mainly on the things she is interested in and does not particularly care about her personal image. Although she wears gorgeous clothes, she still looks very down-to-earth.
Princess Srivanwari, who often travels to foreign countries, also made an appearance. Compared with other members of the royal family, the 36-year-old princess, known as the "protector of the country", is obviously happier and can do whatever she wants. What.
Although Princess Srivanavare has long been accustomed to European and American life, she still shows her most traditional side in front of her father and aunt. When the elders stand and greet each other, she needs to be quiet. Kneeling aside.
It has to be said that there is always an obvious cultural collision among the members of the Thai royal family. On the one hand, they almost all have the experience of living overseas for a long time and can let themselves go quite freely (recall the image of the King of Thailand wearing a vest and hugging his dog many years ago). Picture), but on the other hand, they have to abide by the strict etiquette of the Thai royal family, and it is common for them to kneel down.
On the same day, Princess Chulaphorn, another biological sister of the King of Thailand, also made an appearance. Although she needed medical staff to follow her at all times, she did not want to miss the big day of the King, perhaps to show the deep love between brother and sister.
The 45-year-old Sutida is very friendly and respectful to her sister-in-law, who is 21 years older than her, and is even willing to use her arm as an armrest. In terms of dealing with people, Sutida behaves perfectly, is dignified and knowledgeable, and has a somewhat "motherly appearance" style, at least on the surface.
As for the so-called palace fights, they are all speculations by the outside world. After all, the Thai royal family has maintained a sense of mystery all year round. Even the death or aliveness of Princess Pracharakitya after she fell into a coma was not revealed.
The 66-year-old Princess Chulaphorn, although she was born into a royal family, is also a pitiful person. It is reported that she was not very healthy when she was born, suffering from congenital facial paralysis and expression disorder.
However, this did not affect her performance of royal duties. Until 10 years ago, she was declared to be "infected due to an autoimmune system disorder" and had to suspend work. However, there were also rumors that she suffered a back injury caused by falling from a height. I can no longer walk freely.
It's pretty good now, at least I can no longer use a wheelchair, but standing alone is extremely strenuous.
