Summary
Queen Suthida drew the strongest attention at an Élysée Palace state banquet by wearing a diamond necklace widely seen as echoing Queen Mother Sirikit’s famed rivière piece.
The jewelry choice came during King Rama X’s four-day visit to France, staged to mark 170 years of diplomatic relations and return Emmanuel Macron’s 2022 trip to Thailand.
King Rama X, Queen Suthida and Princess Sirivannavari received an official welcome from Macron and Brigitte Macron, whose warm exchanges with the Thai queen underscored the visit’s diplomatic tone.
Princess Sirivannavari also briefly broke with strict royal protocol by pausing for photographers, adding a lighter public moment to an evening centered on state ceremony.
The visit continues with stops at Paris landmarks and an Airbus tour in Toulouse, extending the symbolism of royal pageantry into broader France-Thailand ties.
