The surprise announcement was carried in the Royal Gazette, and footage from Wednesday's wedding ceremony was later shown on the nightly Royal News segment aired on all Thai television channels.

泰國王室辦公室最先公佈了這一令人驚訝的消息,隨後國王婚禮視頻在泰國各大電視台的晚間王室新聞節目中播放。

公佈的婚禮錄像未透露具體結婚日期,但顯示王室其他成員也出席了婚禮。儀式上,國王把聖水澆在蘇蒂達王後的頭上,並向她贈送了禮物。隨後這對夫婦簽署了婚姻登記書。

It was also explained that the monarch had 'performed a royal wedding ceremony with General Suthida Vajiralongkorn Na Aydhaya in accordance to law and royal traditions in a full and righteous manner', which explains why the pide had to lay at her husband's feet.

王室聲明進一步解釋說,國王“依照法律和王室傳統,按照正統的方式與蘇蒂達將軍舉行了全套皇家婚禮儀式”,這就是為什麼錄像中新娘一直趴在她丈夫的腳前。

66歲的瓦吉拉隆功也被稱為拉瑪十世國王(King Rama X),在他尊敬的父親普密蓬⋅阿杜德國王(King Bhumibol Adulyadej)登基70年後,他於2016年10月成為憲法君主。在此之前他曾結過三次婚,共育有7個孩子。2014年他結束了與第三任妻子Srirasmi長達13年的婚姻。

那麼蘇蒂達是何方人物呢?據泰國當地媒體The Nation的報導,她出生於1978年6月3日,曾是泰國航空公司空姐。

In 2014, Vajiralongkorn appointed Suthida Tidjai, a former flight attendant for Thai Airways, as a deputy commander of his bodyguard unit.

2014年,瓦吉拉隆功任命蘇蒂達為王儲護衛隊的副司令官。

Some royal observers and foreign media had linked Suthida romantically with the king, but the palace had previously never acknowledged a relationship between them.

一些王室觀察員和外媒曾猜測蘇蒂達與國王有一段浪漫的關係,但王室此前從未承認過他們之間的關係。

The king made Suthida a full general in the Royal Thai Army in December 2016, and the deputy commander of the king's personal guard in 2017. He also made her a Thanpuying, a royal title meaning Lady.

2016年12月,國王任命蘇蒂達為泰國皇家陸軍的全軍將軍,2017年又任命她為國王護衛隊的副司令。他還授予她"Thanpuying"的王室頭銜。
