My Take
What strikes me about Princess Chulabhorn is the refusal to coast on royal privilege. Being the youngest daughter of a king could have meant a life of ceremony, yet she became a working chemist, a veterinarian, even an instrumentalist. To me that is the most interesting kind of nobility, the kind earned in a laboratory rather than inherited at birth. The international recognition for her scientific work, including the Adolf Windaus Medal, tells me this was no vanity title. I admire people who use their platform to actually contribute knowledge, and she clearly chose substance over status.
