On October 30, 2025, Queen Sofía of Spain visited the Embassy of the Kingdom of Thailand in Madrid, where she signed the book of condolences following the passing of Queen Sirikit of Thailand. Upon her arrival at the diplomatic mission, Queen Sofía was welcomed by the Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Thailand in Spain, Ms. Supamas Yunyasit.
Queen Sirikit Kitiyakara, born in Bangkok in 1932, was the wife of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and the mother of the current monarch, King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Rama X). She passed away on Friday, October 24, at the age of 93, at Chulalongkorn Hospital in Bangkok, where she had been hospitalised since 2019.
For more than six decades, Queen Sirikit was a symbol of unity and social commitment. She promoted rural development projects, supported local crafts, and championed environmental conservation — earning the affection of the Thai people and the respect of the international community. In 1956, she temporarily assumed the role of Regent, a historic moment that demonstrated her leadership and devotion to the nation.
I see she worn just pearls and that pretty pin with her lovely suit. Classy lady
ReplyDeleteBorn a princess and so much more regal than others… Sofia has been through a lot in her life, but she remained a solid person. Elegance comes naturally.

Perfectly befitting assessment.
DeleteThis is good ensemble, restrained and elegant. Perfect for the visit. Her pearl necklace is a lovely elegant addition. Her black jacket is lovely, fits well. She looks well groomed and attired.
ReplyDeletePour cette visite, tenue sobre mais parfaite ; je vois qu’elle a su apporter une petite touche ravissante par un collier de perles - Quel goût !
