I find it hard to believe the photo was taken in 2009!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhisadej_Rajani
Excerpt:
"He graduated from Debsirin School and continued his education at Dulwich College in England where he played rugby, tennis, and squash. Running many races a day, young Prince Bhisadej finally won the Victor Ludorum gold medal (Latin for 'winner of the games') at the annual Thai students in the UK meeting. During World War II, he joined the British Army in 1943 as a soldier and British spy. He was trained to walk up the hills with a rifle and heavy back pack. He trekked the Himalayan Mountains for two weeks with an army from Darjeeling Hill Station in India to Nathula Pass in Tibet. After the army training, he engaged the underground resistance movement activities against Japanese called Free Thai Movement during the War. After the war, he came back to Thailand and worked as an officer in the Border Patrol Police in their schools along the northern Thai border for a few years."
He also married his first cousin and had children.
I wonder how many famous (and educated) people DO that anymore?
(Einstein married his first cousin, but they were both over 40 at the time, did not have children after marrying, and presumably never intended to.)
