A queen consort is the wife of a reigning king, or an empress consort in the case of an emperor. A queen consort usually shares her husband’s social rank and status. She holds the feminine equivalent of the king’s monarchical titles, but historically, she does not share the king’s political and military powers.
Wongvajirapakdi is the first woman to be a concubine of the king of Thailand in almost a century.
