While the attention today might be on a certain princess-to-be, I want to share two portraits from 1881 of Princess Savang Vadhana of Siam, First Queen Consort of King Chulalongkorn. She later became known as Her Majesty Queen Savang Vadhana, the Queen Grandmother.Princess Savang Vadhana was born in 1862 as the 27th daughter of King Mongkut, who is best known outside of Thailand as the king in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I.

Her father passed away when she was six, and her half-brother Prince Chulalongkorn was chosen to become king. King Chulalongkorn is generally considered one of the greatest kings of Thailand, as his reign is known for modernizing the country through government and social reforms -- especially the abolition of slavery. When Princess Savang Vadhana was of age, she became one of King Chulalongkorn’s royal consorts. She gave birth to eight children, most of whom died at a young age. Queen Savang Vadhana’s legacy continues on today.
