In 1985, Queen Sirikit of Thailand learned that her lover had died violently in the United States, and immediately broke down emotionally, and her love world became fragmented. The twists and turns of this love and its pain can be described as sympathetic. However, we have to recall the moment when they first met. Sirikit was born into a royal family in Thailand and enjoyed a privileged education. While in college, she was sent abroad by her parents for a Western education. In a foreign country, she met Bhumibol unexpectedly, a member of the Thai royal family, and the relationship between the two began from initial freedom and gradually developed into a deep relationship. Sirikit's beauty and empathy won Bhumibol's heart, and the two of them forged an inseparable bond through their shared experiences. When they traveled together, Bhumibol carried a camera with him to capture every touching moment of Sirikit, and these memories became the best moments of their lives. This romantic love and growing up together make people envious.
However, their love is not easily recognized and blessed. When Bhumibol proposed to Sirikit after succeeding to the throne, her father strongly objected. The chaotic pattern of the Thai royal family and the death of Bhumibol's brother in the royal feud made Sirikit's father fear for his daughter's safety and strongly oppose the family business. However, he underestimated the affection between Sirikit and Bhumibol. Faced with her father's opposition, Sirikit married Bhumibol without hesitation. After becoming queen, Sirikit not only played a role in the family, but also participated in social affairs, showing extraordinary talent. However, the once loving relationship between husband and wife cracked in the 80s of the last century, and Bhumibol neglected Sirikit because of his busy state affairs. And the long-term neglect and lack of attention made Sirikit gradually develop feelings of loneliness and coldness.
When Sirikit was depressed, she began to develop a different kind of affection for the security worker Narond. Narond not only stayed by her side for a long time, but also became the sustenance of her soul. The two exchanged letters and attended public together, and the news reached Bhumibol's ears and he could not bear it. To solve this problem, Bhumibol found an excuse to transfer Narond to the United States. However, at this time, Sirikit was inseparable from Naronde, and the letters of remembrance left to him at every moment became the only bond between them. However, fate had an unforeseen arrangement for the relationship between the two, and Narond suffered a heart attack and died in the United States. When the news reached Sirikit's ears, she was so grieved that she personally arranged for Narond's body to be transported back to Thailand. The warmth of the funeral and the coverage of it in Thailand** put Sirikit in an even more difficult situation. Bhumibol looked at her in such pain, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and took action against her. Subsequently, Sirikit was forcibly admitted to the hospital to undergo "curettage". In the next half a year, Sirikit seemed to be exiled to the "cold palace" and lost everything she once had overnight. Sirikit, who was discharged from the hospital half a year later, has changed from a former slender queen to an obese "aunt". And the first thing she did after being discharged from the hospital was to kneel down to Bhumibol and repent, and was eventually forgiven.
After all this, Sirikit became the object of ridicule and became the topic of after-dinner conversation among Thai people. However, we may not have imagined that Sirikit did not only want Bhumibol's tolerance and understanding, but also unexpectedly, when she took control of the palace, she showed her strong side. She is determined to love with sincere repentance, has she forgotten about her lover?
However, when Bhumibol died in 2016, Sirikit, who was already 88 years old, had been reluctant to attend his funeral. Her actions are both regrettable and thought-provoking. Is it that her love for Bhumibol has been completely extinguished?Or is it the revenge mentality in her heart that makes her unable to forgive him?
In general, Sirikit and Bhumibol's love has experienced twists and turns and ups and downs from the initial encounter to the final death. Although they were not happy in the past, their love will always be remembered in people's hearts. As Sirikit said after Bhumibol's death, "My love is the love of a lifetime", expressing her deep feelings for Bhumibol. And we should also learn to cherish the people in front of us and not let love slip away in our hands.
