  2. The Queen of Thailand looks impeccable. Her gown is beautiful; the style suits her as does the colors. The Queen of Bhutan also looks beautiful, the colors of her traditional dress, are wonderful, well blended, she looks stunning.

      Ava, I think she’s “a”
      Queen of Thailand not “the”
      Queen. Have been reading about this richest and perhaps strangest of the well-known royal families. The King’s history of wives is not what we’d call a standard path.

      @Anon 10:50 - HM Queen Suthida is THE Queen (Consort). She is the King’s only current wife. He has had previous wives, from whom he is now divorced, and currently has one official Concubine. Even if he had a dozen current wives, however, there would still be only one Queen. That would be whomever was given the title of queen.
