Talk:Ubol Ratana

article

 * naming of article needs to reflect her status. anything less than that is disrespectful. see Wikipedia´s own rules about naming of royalty Antares911 12:03, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

misc
Was Bhumi Jensen actually named a Prince of Thailand by Royal decree?


 * No, he remains a commoner throughout his life.

Her royal status (i.e., HRH) has not been restored legally. She remains a commoner after the marriage since. However, her status as being the king's daughter has never changed, i.e. you may call her princess Ubol Ratana but not HRH princess Ubol Ratana) -- this is the same situation as the late princess Diana can keep the princess title but not HRH title.

Something should be done, here. Having three entries for one person is a tad absurd. If "princess Ubol Ratana" the correct name, then let's pack this thing up and move it, no? Harmil 13:09, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It is very bad behavior to erase another's comments from the talk page. I believe Antares, by doing so, has violated against Wikipedia norms. 217.140.193.123 29 June 2005 15:53 (UTC)

Royal consorts and monarchs
trying to get a discussion going on the procedure how to name non-european royalty. click here and let me know what you think, cheers Antares911 00:42, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

royal titles do not belong to article name, if not necessary
My comment to renaming issue: I vote against the title in article name. Titles could be explained in the text of article.

As there apparently is no other famous Ubol Ratana, this does not even need to be Ubol Ratana of Thailand 217.140.193.123 21:42, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

(I just hope that Antares, an eraser, does not erase this comment. Of course it is usual for totalitarians to want no one else's opinions to be seen.) 217.140.193.123 29 June 2005 15:56 (UTC)

Khun Poom Trust Fund
Apparently, Princess Ubol Ratana has established an educational trust fund in memory, and with money coming from the death of, her son, Khun Poom. My Isan step-grandson has just been awarded 15,000 Baht a year from this fund, and I would like to know more about it than the garbled account I get from my wife and his teachers!

some smart alex have deliberately removed the names of the 4 daughters of the 2 princess from "THAI ROYAL FAMILY" and change the name of HRH Vajiralongkorn's first wife to princess niece. this is ridiculous. can someone change it back>? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sghan (talk • contribs) 07:35, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Foreign honours
In these photos she weared the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Royal House of Chakri.

She is not a Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic.

Name
Shouldn't she be named Ubolratana Mahidol? baconbits (talk) 04:02, 16 February 2019 (UTC)


 * While that's probably her legal name, no one uses it. Wikipedia follows usage in reliable sources. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:34, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Sounds good baconbits (talk) 12:26, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Relinquishing Title
I think the part relinquishing/losing royal title in the lede should be written ambiguously so it could lend to both situations. Then later in the marriage section, the two competing sources can be laid out. Otherwise, we would be taking the official narrative over a well-researched journalistic work. baconbits (talk) 12:26, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * That's a reasonable suggestion. Please go ahead. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:00, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Sailing
The bit about the Princess and her father sharing the gold medal in OK Dinghy sailing is mysterious. If the King eventually won the race, wouldn't he receive the gold medal and his daughter the silver medal? Perhaps there is something about this kind of race that I do not understand, but if so, probably many other readers do not either. A clarification would be helpful.Bill (talk) 03:34, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
