King Charles beams in Samoan-themed dress at official dinner for the Commonwealth Heads of Government in Samoa alongside Queen CamillaThe King of Thailand Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun celebrated his 72nd birthday today with a royal barge procession on Bangkok's Chao Phraya River.
For the momentous occasion, Queen Suthida wore traditional dress in navy. The fresh-faced royal completed her look with a pair of sapphire and diamond encrusted earrings. It seemed that only two of Vajiralongkorn's seven children were in attendance on Sunday, October 27 - Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana, 37, and Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti, 19.
During the 70-year reign of the previous king, Bhumibol Adulyadej, only 16 barge processions were held. Only four of the barges are actually deemed 'royal', while the others are officially royal escort vessels. As an adolescent he studied at two public schools in Britain, including King's Mead School, Seaford, Sussex, and then at Millfield School, Somerset. After, he embarked on a military career, training in Australia.
He married his first wife in 1977, a cousin, Princess Soamsavali Kitiyakara, with whom he has a daughter, Princess Bajrakitiyabha in 1978. They divorced in 1993. In 2007, footage published online showed the couple throwing a party for his pet poodle - who held the rank of Air Chief Marshall - at the Royal Palace in Bangkok. Princess Srirasmi, a former waitress, who sang happy birthday to the dog topless, also got on her knees and ate from a dog bowl in the same video.
