She is Sirikit, the mother of the controversial king of Thailand who will have the fate of Daniel Sancho in his hands

At 91, Sirikit Kitiyakara is now a reflection of who she was in her youth, the Queen Mother and Sovereign of Thailand, a woman adored by her people and fashion houses like Vogue, Channel, among others.

She became the mother of four children with the previous King Bhumibol, Maha Vajiralongkorn who is the current monarch of the Asian country at the age of 71 and the man who holds in his hands the fate of Daniel Sancho, a young Spaniard who was killed and dismembered by a famous Colombian surgeon.

But long before he had to face his eldest son, who had become a despotic, distrustful and sex-addicted sovereign, Sirikit had a “cinematic life,” as El Mundo reported.

Sirikit, Queen Mother and Thai icon

According to Vanity Fair magazine, Sirikit knew firsthand what it was like to be surrounded by luxury as the daughter of an ambassador, a lifestyle she led when she fell in love with and married Bhumibol in 1950.

Since then, the Queen Consort has become the face of her country, making Thailand the talk of the town with her beauty and modern style that soon made her a fashion icon.

Her hairstyles were the work of Alexandre de Paris, Pierre Balmain was in charge of her clothes until the 90s, she always wore beautiful jewelry, and she was even considered a “rival” of Jackie Kennedy.

Influence at court and the Thai king

As for his current political power, it is believed that Sirikit Kitiyakara’s views still carry a lot of weight in the royal court as he is the only person who can control the flamboyant personality of his first born.
