Thai palace shares unusually candid images of king's consort |
2019-08-27 |
[BBC] Rare photographs of the king of Thailand's newly-anointed consort have been released by the palace, reportedly causing its website to crash. Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi, 34, is shown piloting a fighter jet, wearing combat fatigues, and firing a gun. A consort is a title given by a monarch to his or her spouse or companion. King Maha Vajiralongkorn, 67, bestowed the title on Sineenat in July, two months after his marriage to Queen Suthida, his fourth wife. Sineenat, a major-general, was the first person to have been awarded the title of Royal Noble Consort in nearly a century. |

#14 I could show you some REALLY candid images of the consort but this would get the site banned in Thailand pronto and no moderator should ever dream about visiting Thailand in the future... |

#10 K & Consort. There are lots of photos showing them in a not so royal attire that would get you 15 years in prison in Thailand for lèse majesté |

#8 Well the two basically live in Bavaria, in a mansion at the Starnbergersee in Tutzing. They are occasionally seen biking or even shopping in stores. Jesenwang is a base for private pilots (I have a license), and she got one from this base, too. Nothing more than a friendly greeting. |

#4 ...two months after his marriage to Queen Suthida, his fourth wife. In his case, its a matter of a parallel not serial arrangement. |

#3 It's good to be the king. Queen Suthida - a 41-year-old former flight attendant and deputy head of his bodyguard unit Just remember, if she asks you whether you would like steak or fish for dinner...choose the lasagna. |

#2 Queen Suthida - a 41-year-old former flight attendant and deputy head of his bodyguard unit Not sure I'd bring a girlfriend into the fold if my wife were in charge of my security..... actually, given my wife is a better shot, I'm sure I wouldn't. |
