Ramphaiphanni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen Ramphaiphanni (Also spelled "Rambhai Barni". Full name: Somdet Phra Nang Chao Ramphaiphanni Phra Borommarachini - สมเด็จพระนางเจ้ารำไพพรรณี พระบรมราชินี) (December 20, 1904 - May 22, 1984), was the wife and Queen Consort of King Prajadhipok of Siam.
She accompanied Prajadhipok into self-exile in England in 1935, continuing to reside there following his death in 1941. During the Second World War, she and her brother, Prince Suphasawatwongsanit Sawatdiwat, made clear their Free Thai sympathies and used their connections to assist like-minded students in organising a resistance movement in Britain. She was among the four women who volunteered for non-military tasks with the Free Thai.
She returned to Thailand in 1949.
