His Majesty the King, 66, is the only son of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. 
In 1972, at the age of 20, he was made crown prince by his father. A year’s mourning following the passing of King Rama IX resulted in a postponement of the coronation, although the current monarch’s reign officially began on October 13, 2016, upon his father’s departure.
