is that new royal Mother-in-Law, princess Bounchanh same lady as Mom Bounchanh [Ounkham], nee Phommahaxay (b 4 Jun 1946), seemingly widow of royal prince Dr. Souvannarangsi Ounkham (1941- presumably in 1976 or soon after)?
is the term "from distant branches of the Lao royal family" an euphemism for being related to any Laotian monarchs only through an earlier marriage?
The young bride is something less than 30 years of age, I presume.
The main royal line is really in need of new generation of heirs.
The exile is a bad thing enough, without a looming future of collateral lines rivalling over succession.
