Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn has married his bodyguard and made her queen. The royal announcement that Suthida Tidjai, a 40-year-old former flight attendant, is now queen comes just days before the king’s coronation — Vajiralongkorn took over as the top royal in 2016, when his father, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, passed away, but the coronation is on Saturday, and, no, the king has not given a reason for why the coronation is coming three years later.
