Queen Sirikit's 84th Birthday

Queen Sirikit's 84th Birthday


Today is Queen Sirikit's 84th Birthday (in Thai สิริกิติ์). She is the  queen consort of Bhumibol Adulyadej, King (Rama IX) of Thailand. As the consort of the king who is the world's longest-reigning head of state, she is also the world's longest-serving consort of a monarch. 
Sirikit suffered a stroke on 21 July 2012 and has since refrained from public appearances.
