(He has dual-citizenship.)<br \/>\nIf you come to Thailand, do not dare to write His Majesty&#8217;s name in red ink. Writing someone&#8217;s name in red means that they are dead or that you wish them to be dead.<br \/>\nHM is also an excellent saxophone player and has played with some of the world&#8217;s best jazz musicians.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Princess\u00a0Ubolratana Rajakanya- Rajakanya is the oldest child of the king of Thailand. She has a younger brother and two sisters who are even younger than him. She has two daughters and had an autistic son, who died at 21 in a tsunami in 2004.<br \/>\nShe was born on April 5, 1951, in Switzerland. When she was sixteen, she and her father competed in the fourth SEA Games and won gold medals in sailing. Her parents nicknamed her\u00a0<em>La Poup\u00e9e<\/em>, which means &#8220;doll.&#8221; Eventually, it was shortened to <em>P\u00e9e.<br \/>\n<\/em>The princess was born with the titles of &#8220;Her Royal Highness&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Chao Fa<\/em>,&#8221; but these she relinquished because she married an American commoner. She still holds the style of <em>Tunkramom Ying<\/em>, meaning &#8220;Daughter to the Queen Regent.&#8221;<br \/>\nHer father is sadly getting older and will soon no longer reign. There is hot debate about who will follow him: will it be the princess, who everyone likes because she helps the Thai people, or will it be the prince, who would continue the tradition by becoming Rama X and who would get angry if his sister got the title but who the people think doesn&#8217;t deserve it?
