EDITORS COMMENTS
A Royal Laugh: Queen Sirikit of Thailand Takes a Playful Fall While Skiing in Gstaad, Switzerland, 1961 In this delightful photograph, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand, born in 1932, embraces the winter spirit during a family holiday in the picturesque Swiss Alps resort of Gstaad. Accompanied by her beloved husband, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, or Rama IX (1927-2016), and their children, the Thai royal family enjoyed a much-needed break from their official duties. Queen Sirikit, dressed in a chic white fur hat and a warm coat, attempts to master the art of skiing with a playful expression on her face. As she gracefully falls backward, her laughter echoes through the snowy landscape, capturing the essence of carefree enjoyment. The image showcases the lighter side of royalty, reminding us that even monarchs can let their guard down and indulge in the simple pleasures of life. This photograph, taken in 1961, offers a glimpse into the 1960s, an era of change and progress. The Thai royals, known for their elegance and poise, are seen here engaging in a popular winter activity, adding a touch of glamour to the idyllic Swiss setting. The image, filled with smiles and laughter, is a testament to the enduring bond between the royal family and their love for each other and for the beauty of nature.
