Most queenly of the lot was Thailand's lovely Sirikit. Halsman, who has photographed more LIFE covers (90) than anyone else, believes that "to make a well-composed portrait, the photographer must control and direct his subject. This becomes rather difficult when the subject is a Queen!" When he left Sirikit, she told him: "It has been so nice that you did not make me at all nervous." Until that point, he thought he had been the only nervous...

In Rome last week, Sirikit wowed local newsmen, who all played eulogistic variations on the theme of "the most beautiful Queen in the world." No slouch in winning popularity...
...King's romance with jazz is pleasantly tolerated by Queen Sirikit. For one thing, Bhumibol is monogamous, unlike most of his celebrated ancestors (his father was the 69th child of King Chulalongkorn). "He doesn't need any more wives," Sirikit once said with a smile. "For him, his orchestra is one big concubine...
