Her Majesty the Queen, from the time His Majesty the King returned to Thailand in 1950 with M.R. Sirikit Kitiyakara by
his side as his fiancee, to the day of the royal wedding when she became the Queen of Thailand,
Her Majesty has since been the cherished Queen of her subjects and the source of their
strength and hope. She has been the devoted consort of His Majesty the King and the pride of
the Chakri Dynasty.
The sight of Their Majesties standing side by side at their royal residence,
at state functions, and during their trips to visit the Thai peoplein different parts of the Kingdom
was heart warming for the Thai people. After the miserable days of World War Two, the great
loss of their beloved late king, and the departure of the new King who had to continue his
education abroad, the return of their Majesties the King and Queen was like sacred water that
soothed the soul of every Thai. With their presence, the Thai people were grateful and
considered themselves fortunate to have their Head of State back, together with his Queen
who is blessed with beauty and grace.
But more than that, Their Majesties have since
dedicated themselves to hard work, with the benefit and the happiness of the people as their
ultimate goals. They have assisted all the suffering underprivileged poor in ever part of the
Kingdom who lack access to opportunities and have no one to turn to.
There is no place that is too far away or too difficult to travel to. For the past four decades, Their Majesties
the King and Queen have dutifully served as their people's advisors.
Whenever there is a disaster, regardless of where it happens, Their Majesties are always there to alleviate the hardships, and do so without any discrimination. Their assistance has always been on a continuous basis, to enable
those affected by the misfortunes to become self-reliant again.
