Maha's first marriage with Concubine Song.
In the spring of 1977, the 24-year-old Crown Prince Maha of Thailand ushered in a turning point in his life - his first wedding. The bride, Sonsawali, came from a prominent aristocratic family, and although she was ordinary in appearance, she had a brilliant family background. After marriage, she was honored as Concubine Song and often appeared in the royal corridor. Although the marriage seems to be a good match, there have been uneven princesses in history. It is difficult to predict whether Concubine Song's future path will be as full of twists and turns as other princesses.
2. The acquaintance of Maha and Yuwada
3. Yu Wada's acting career and marriage and childbirth
In 1979, Concubine Song gave birth to Maha's first firstborn daughter, Princess Pa, and the kingdom was overjoyed. In the same year, Yu Wada also welcomed his first child with Maha. In the following years, Yu Wada gave birth to three sons and a daughter one after another, and his status in the royal family became more and more determined. But her once brilliant dream of acting is gone with her mother.
4. Comparison of the royal life of Concubine Song and Yu Wada
With the passage of time, Concubine Song only had one child, Princess Pa, and Yu Wada had become the fifth son of the royal family. Yu Wada's position is increasingly consolidated and he has become a promising candidate for the second princess. But there are other factors to consider in the order of succession......
5. The successes and setbacks of Yuwada
But just when she was enjoying her glory as the second princess, in 1996, King Maha suddenly announced the revocation of her qualification as a princess. This was a major blow to Yuwada, who had been in exile with her five children for many years. Despite this, she maintained a graceful posture and taught her children to develop a decent character.
6. The private life of the crown prince and the education of his children
Crown Prince Maha is amorous and has given birth to many children with Yu Wada and Sirami. His position at court was retained, but his private life was much discussed. Despite this, he always attached great importance to the education of his children.
For example, when his eldest son Vala was studying abroad, Maha visited and condoled many times. And the second son, William, originally studied in a prestigious British school and was also supported by the crown prince. In addition, the four sons he had with Yu Wada, despite being in exile, had a well-organized education.
7. Sirami's marriage and divorce
Maha and Sirami have a deep relationship and have a son and a daughter. But Sirami's marriage did not go well. She had two sons with a civilian husband, but divorced in 2002 due to a split relationship.
She then married an Italian expatriate, Antoni Belgrano, but the marriage ended after only three years. Sirami's two marriages ended in divorce and she failed to leave an heir, leaving her position in the royal family somewhat precarious.
8. Subsequent changes in the royal family and the situation of Princess Phra
In recent years, there have been several significant changes in the Thai royal family. In 2019, the second prince Vala and his younger brother, who had been in exile for many years, were allowed to return to Thailand to live. In the same year, Yu Wada also announced that she was fully restored to the status of princess and was invited to participate in the event.
And Princess Pa, who has been suffering from a long-term illness, has been in poor health for many years. Despite the King's repeated visits to the hospital, her condition did not improve, and the Crown Prince was very concerned about it. Princess Pa's unknown health has attracted the attention of the entire royal family.
In the Thai royal family, there is no event that has caused more discussion than the return of the Uwada family to Thailand. As the second princess who was demoted, her four eldest sons had been in exile abroad for a long time. Now, with the return of the second and third princes, there is speculation that the family is regaining the king's favor.
After returning to China, the second prince first inspected the royal kindergarten. This kindergarten has a long history and has trained countless members of the royal family. He interacts closely with the children and brings warm feelings. This inspection shows that the second prince's commitment and sense of responsibility to the royal family have not diminished in the slightest because of his long absence. His amiable demeanor has won him the love of many people.
When the third prince returned to China, he not only participated in the worship of the ancestors, but also actively participated in various public welfare undertakings. Setting up a clinic in a slum area and holding an experience camp for underprivileged children shows his excellent sense of social responsibility. Unlike his usual cold image, the third prince showed a warm and amiable side in front of the public, which further strengthened his popularity.
At the same time, Yu Wada accompanied the second prince back to China as a relative, which also attracted attention. After her stepdaughter, Princess Sirivan, was enthroned, her joy won the understanding of the people. At the age of 61, she is still naughty and lively in various activities, and her intimate interaction with her son infects the people around her. Yu Wada's demeanor is still the same, compared with the past, she has added a strong maternal love.
The return of the Uwada family has greatly influenced the direction of Thai society. Messages on the Internet praised the pro-people demeanor of the royal family. There were calls for the king to consider rehabilitating and reusing the princes since they had behaved so competently. And as time goes on, the power within the royal reshuffle seems to be moving in a new direction.
10. Harem Battle vs. Maha's Final Choice
In the complex system of the royal family, the competition of the harem has never stopped. All the princesses are trying their best to grab the most resources for their heirs. In this contest, Concubine Song was in an advantageous position by virtue of her background, but she only had one daughter, Princess Pa. Sirami prefers to keep a low profile, but her son does not perform well, making it difficult for her political plans to make a difference.
On the contrary, Yu Wada's move is unusual. Her four princes are old and strong, especially the eldest son and the third son, who have performed well recently and won the hearts of the people. This made the other princesses feel threatened. Especially Suthida, although she sits on the throne of the queen, she has no children, and if Maha is passed on in the future, it will become the biggest resistance.
So, when the king was about to go on patrol, the concubines accompanying him in the harem were relieved and each attacked Yu Wada's son. Among them, Suthida's elder brother was the leader, who spread rumors that the prince colluded with foreign forces with the intention of usurping the throne, and also secretly blocked the prince's public welfare activities. This made Yu Wada feel depressed.
When the king returned home, he was worried when he saw that the harem was in chaos. In this power game, he needs to choose wisely and choose an heir to the throne to balance the situation. After much deliberation, he made a bold and wise decision - announcing that his eldest son would be the crown prince to ensure the future of the royal family, and at the same time announcing the rehabilitation of the Yuwada family and the reuse of the fourth son to stabilize the interior. This move calmed the storm and laid the foundation stone for the successors of the Kingdom of Thailand.
