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 W
ar 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 a
ccess 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 mis fortunes
to become self-reliant again.
Their
visits to different parts of the country to get to know the
people during the early period of their reign has created a bond
that binds them with their subjects. Their Majesties have a very
close the with villagers in every region of the Kingdom. They
have listened to them about their hardships in making a living.
His Majesty has never overlooked asingle problem faced by the
people and has always looked for ways to address these problems.
Her Majesty, on the other hand, has always responded to the King's
plans and directions and is committed to hard work for the
benefits of the people.
Their
Majesties, together with other members of the Royal Family, have
selflessly devoted themselves to carrying out the great burden
of helping their people, and through this, they have won the
heart of every Thai.
Today,
the land echoes praises for her Majesty the Queen on the
auspicious occasion of her 60th birtyday.
