In addition, through their father Queen Sukumalmarsri was also an half-older sister to Queen [[Savang_Vadhana]] and Queen [[Saovabha]].

She had 5 full siblings, including the famous Princess Napaborn, and from her father's side, she was a half-sister to King Chulalongkorn (later her husband), Queens [[Sunanda Kumariratana]], [[Savang Vadhana]], and [[Saovabha Phongsri]].


When she was ten years old, King Mongkut died and was succeeded by Sukhumala Marasri's half-brother, Prince [[Chulalongkorn]].
The Princess was born in [[Grand Palace, Bangkok|Grand Palace]] and was named '''Sukumalmarsri''' by her father, with the name, her father also give her the greet-he wish his daughter to be happiness all of her life and get the perfect son, in fact her son, Baribathra, did.


⚫
==Life as queen==
When she was about ten years old her father passed away, her half-older brother, [[Chulalongkorn]], successed to the throne.
Sometime in her teenage years, Sukhumala became a royal wife to King Chulalongkorn. The marriage produced two children; Princess [[Suddha Dibyaratana]] (later the Princess of Ratanakosin), who was also the first surviving Chao-Fah, a child of the sovereign which their mother is the Queen Consort or a Princess by blood, and Prince [[Paribatra Sukhumbandhu]] (later the Prince of Nakorn Sawan.) During her husband's reign, she served as the King's secretary and was referred to as "the [[Princess Consort]]".


After her husband died, she moved to her son's palace, [[Bang Khun Phrom Palace|Bang Khun Phrom]]. During the reign of King [[Vajiravudh]], her nephew, he officially named her as his father's fourth queen consort, making her official title [[Majesty|Her Majesty]] [[Queen consort|Queen]] Sukhumala. When [[Prajadhipok]] succeeded to the throne, he gave his father's two surviving queens consort, Savang Vadhana and Sukhumala, the title of "the Queen Aunt". In the same style, Sukhumala was preceded by Savang Vadhana, reflecting the fact that Savang Vadhana was created queen consort by Chulalongkorn before Sukhumala.

==Life as Queen==
At age 17 Sukumalmarsri was married to His Majesty the King Chulalongkorn, her older half-brother. She gave birth to HRH Princess Sutatipyaratana, the Princess of Ratanakosin who was the second but first surviving Chao-fah<ref>the children of a monarch whose mother was queen or the Thai royal princess, a higher rank than the children of a monarch whose mother was not royal</ref>, it has been said that if Sutatip was born male she must inherit the title of Crown Prince.


Queen Consort Sukhumala Marasri died on 9 July 1927 at the age of 66 at the Bang Khun Phrom Palace (H.R.H. Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandhu Palace). Her only surviving child, Prince [[Paribatra Sukhumbandhu]], and her younger full sister, Princess Napaborn, were at her bedside.
However in the time of her husband's reign she was not style [[Queen]] of Siam, but as the [[Princess Consort]]. Some have said that because her mother, the High Consort Samli, was a member of Bunnak familly. Bunnak was the most powerful familly in Siam behind the Royal Familly, and was refer to as "the King maker" because Rama III, Rama IV and Pinkloa was succesed to the throne because their support. Chulalongkorn was not supported by the familly, but his [[Vice-King]], George Ging Yod, did. In fact the title of Vice-King was like second king of Siam<ref>But no one since Pin Kloa was named the second King in real.</ref>and also the heir apparent to the throne, it must be the closest male relative of the monarch to inherit the title, almost are their full younger brother or their eldest son from their Queen, George was only causin while Chulalongkorn have 2 full younger brother, another who his mother was an aunt to the King (they were style Chao-fah)<ref>and have at least 20 younger half brother whose style Phra Ong Chao at that time, but no son recently</ref> The Bunnak support George to successed the title of Vice King while he has no right, Chulalongkorn can't does anything because he was at that time only 16, so he, in fact, doesnt' like the Bunnak that much. So Sukumalmarsri, however she was the beloved wife of Chulalongkorn, didn't style Queen, to prevent the Bunnak claim to the power.<ref>Like the Situation of [[Jane Seymour]] Queen to Henry VIII after she was crowned Queen her brother claim to the power.</ref> Prince [[Chula Chakrabongse]], Sukumal's grand nephew, noted in his book, Chao-Chee-Wit, how suprise to him while he knew Sukumal was the great love to his Grand Father, but have no any title more than just Princess.<ref>As a daughter of Siam monarch, Sukumal was Princess in her own right, she was recive the title Princess Consort from her husband, not the Queen.</ref>


==Aftermath==
Because Siam law of succesion was [[Salic Law]], Sutathip, the eldest Chao Fah couldn't be in line to the throne, Chulalongkorn wish to married his eldest Chao Fah son and heir,Crown Prince Vajirunhis, to Suttathip. Had Vajirunhis was not passed away before the King, Sutathip must became Queen of Siam. Thus mean Sukumal will style also as the "Queen Mother".
In her memory, one district was named "Rajdevi" after Sukumala.


When Prahadhipok abdicated and was succeeded by his nephew, [[Ananda Mahidol]] 1935, Sukumala was no longer aunt to the new king, thus she was simply referred to as Her Majesty Queen Sukumala Marasri. Unlike her younger-half sister, Savang Vadhana, who was created "the Queen Grandmother".
Sukumalmarsri was recieve the title Queen by her nephew, Rama VI, but her Thai's title didn't change untill the Reign of Rama VII she was style "สมเด็จพระปิตุจฉาเจ้าสุขุมาลมารศรี พระอัครราชเทวี" which mean the Queen who was the King's aunt, unlike her younger half sister, the Queen Grandmother - at that time both Queen's titles were translated as "Queen Aunt", but in Thai they are different Sukumalmarsri was below Sawangwaddhana.


Her son, Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandhu was a prominent figure in Siamese politics during the later part of the absolute monarchy, often credited as the man behind King Prajadhipok's throne. The prince served as Minister of the Interior at the time of the Siamese revolution of 1932, and he was captured by the [[Khana Ratsadon]] (the People's Party) and placed under arrest. Prajadhipok accepted the demands of the rebels and became a constitutional monarch. Prince Paribatra, however was exiled from Siam. He eventually settled and died in [[Indonesia]], having never returned to his homeland. Mom Rajawongse [[Sukhumbhand Paribatra]], politician and [[Governor of Bangkok]] is one of his grandchildren.
==Died==
She died at the age 66 on [[9 July]] [[1927]] at the Grand Palace, the place where she was born, her only son, Baribathra, and her younger sister, Napaporn, was at her bed side.


Sukumala's younger sister, Princess Napaborn died at the age of 94.
