Princess Chulabhorn, The Princess Srisavangvadhana (Thai: จุฬาภรณ; Thai pronunciation: [tɕù.lāː.pʰɔ̄ːn]; rtgsChulaphon; born 4 July 1957, Bangkok) is a princess of Thailand, the youngest daughter of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit. She is officially styled Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn, which corresponds to her full Thai title Somdet Phrachao Luk Thoe Chaofa Chulabhorn Walailak Agrarajakumari (Thai: สมเด็จพระเจ้าลูกเธอ เจ้าฟ้าจุฬาภรณวลัยลักษณ์ อัครราชกุมารี).[1]

She was awarded the UNESCO Einstein Medal[2] for her efforts in promoting scientific collaboration in 1986 and was the first Asian to be invited to join the Royal Society of Chemistry in the United Kingdom as an Honorary Fellow.[3]

Marriage and issue

In 1981, Chulabhorn married Royal Thai Air Force officer Group Captain Virayudh Tishyasarin (Thai: วีระยุทธ ดิษยะศริน; rtgsWirayut Dityasarin), a commoner.
