The King of Siam: Chulalongkorn I., 1895. 'The royal family in Siam has sustained a severe bereavement by the death, on Jan. 4, of the Crown Prince, who succumbed to complicated kidney disease...all the English colony in Bangkok share the widespread regret occasioned by his death. Illness supervened about Dec. 24 last, and although European and Siamese physicians did all that lay in their power, it became evident that the Crown Prince's life could not be saved...It may be mentioned that the Siamese have the most profound respect for Queen Victoria, and were overjoyed when her Majesty sent a telegram congratulating King Chulalongkorn on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his accession. All that his son did seemed right in his father's eyes, and King Chulalongkorn's grief at the Prince's death is naturally very great'. Chulalongkorn, King of Siam (1853-1910) was half-brother and husband of Queen Savang Vadhana, and father of Crown Prince Maha Vajirunhis. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
