H.M. Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother’s Biography in Brief

 

Who could ever have expected that on the twelfth of August 1932, heaven would confer a sweet, kind-eyed and beautiful little baby to the royal family of "Kitiyakara?" Who could ever have imagined that fate would ordain such an innocent young lady with her sweet smile to become the Queen of King Bhumipol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand?

Mom Rajawong Ying Sirikit Kitiyakara grew up full of sweetness and natural beauty. Her innocent sweet smile impressed all who ever met her. As fate continued to play its hand, Mom Rajawong Ying Sirikit Kitiyakara, daughter of His Serene Highness Prince NugkhatamangkalaKitiyakara, the Royal Ambassador to the Republic of France, came by chance to meet the King on a private visit that be made to France, and there cupid shot his arrow.

On May the twentieth, 1950, a day of great rejoicing was prepared for all Thai people when their King married Mom Rajawong Ying Sirikit Kitiyakara and nominated her as the Queen.

It was this event that brought much joy and happiness to the Thai people.

In 1956, the King entered the priesthood, and appointed he Queen as His Regent. Thus she became the Regent Queen of Thailand.



 

Her Majesty's Activities

 


One of the lifelong resolutions of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand is to accompany His Majesty the King in the performance of royal duties and activities, with particular attention given to visits to remote parts of the Kingdom. These upcountry visits have given Her Majesty firsthand experience and personal awareness of the poor living conditions of large groups of Thais, inspiring Her Majesty to provide altruistic assistance to improve the life of her needy subjects.
