Sukhumala Marasri
Queen Sukumalmarsri (Thai:สมเด็จพระนางเจ้าสุขุมาลมารศรี พระอัครราชเทวี) (10 May 1861-9 July 1927) was a daughter of King Mongkut (Rama IV) and Chao Chom Manda Samli (เจ้าจอมมารดาสำลี). Her given name is Princess Sukumalmarsri (พระองค์เจ้าสุขุมาลมารศรี). She was the third senior of the four queen consorts of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V).
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 (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) it has been said that if Sutatip was born male she must inherit the title of Crown Prince.
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.
