Thai King’s new wife and former security guard Suthida dresses up in a dazzling array of outfits for portrait series celebrating her marriage – featuring some very questionable photoshopping.
Thailand’s Royal household has unveiled a series of stunning images of the country’s new queen – sporting a dazzling array of different outfits, says the Daily Mail.
Queen Suthida, 40, from Bangkok, married 66-year-old King Maha Vajiralongkorn – also known as King Rama X – on May 1 this year.
He announced then his intent for Suthida Vajiralongkorn na Ayudhya to be his consort, and at his coronation three days later on May 4, she was bestowed with the title.
To mark the momentous occasion and celebrate the marriage, the Royal Household Bureau of Thailand released 20 photographs showing Her Majesty in varying outfits, from military uniforms to formal wear.
Though some of the images feature some rather questionable photoshopping, with several making the Queen look superimposed onto a backdrop.
A number of them show her wearing a name badge, supposedly designed to make the outfits look more authentic – however, the Queen does have a military background.
Having previously worked as a flight attendant for Thai Airways, which is reportedly how she met the King, Queen Suthida then joined the palace guard in 2013 and became commander of the his security unit.
She currently holds a general’s rank, having been appointed deputy commander of the King’s Royal Guard in June 2017.
Her husband King Vajiralongkorn, who has had three previous marriages and divorced his previous wife, with whom he has a son, in 2014, became king after the death of his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, in October 2016.
Queen Suthida was born on June 3, 1978, and the Thai government recently announced that from this year, her birthday will be a national holiday. – Report and images shared by the Daily Mail
