Sunanda Kumariratana
Sunanda Kumariratana was a queen consort of Siam.Background
She was a daughter of Siamese King Mongkut and Princess Consort Piam. She was the half-sister and first wife of King Chulalongkorn of Siam. The kings's other two wives were her full-sibling younger sisters, Queen Savang Vadhana and Queen Saovabha Bhongsi.
The queen and her daughter drowned when her royal boat capsized on the way to the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace. The many witnesses to the accident did not dare to touch the queen, a capital offense—not even to save her life. The grief-stricken Chulalongkorn later erected a memorial to her and their unborn child at Bang Pa-In Palace.Ancestors
