Question

Is there still a royal family in burma?

Answer 1

Yes, the current Burma royal family is represented by Princess Mayat Phaya Galay’s descendants, who is the youngest daughter of King Thibaw Min, the last King of Burma. His reign ended when Burma was defeated by the forces of the British Empire on 29 November 1885.

Following the arrest of the royal family in 1885, in early 1887 the family arrived at their place of exile in Ratnagiri close to Bombay and the birth of the fourth daughter Princess Mayat Phaya Galay followed in April that year. Princess Mayat married a former monk in 1921. She had four sons and two daughters. They and their children represent the extant members of the Burmese royal family and most of them continue to live in Burma.

Princess Mayat Phaya Galay's eldest son Taw Phaya Gyi was murdered in 1948 by communists. Another of her sons Taw Phaya Lay was patron of the Ma-Ma-Ta Patriotic Front. He was placed under house arrest during much of the 1970s and 1980s dying in Rangoon in 2006. The other sons and grandsons of Princess Mayat Phaya Galay continue to live in Burma to this day. The head of the Konbaung dynasty is Taw Phaya (b. 22 March 1924), the second son of Princess Myat Phaya Galay, who married Princess Gyi Phaya Rita. He would be succeeded by his eldest son Taw Phaya Myat Gyi (b. 14 May 1945). His grandson is Taw Phayar Galay (aka) Aung Zay.

Answer 2

The country is now called Myanmar and is a military dictatorship.

King Mindon (1853–1878) founded Mandalay in 1859 and made it his capital. He skillfully navigated the growing threats posed by the competing interests of Britain and France. In the process, Mindon had to renounce Kayah (Karenni) states in 1875. His successor, King Thibaw (1878–1885), was largely ineffectual. In 1885, the British, alarmed by the French conquest of neighboring Laos, grabbed Upper Burma. The Third Anglo-Burmese War (1885) lasted a mere one month insofar as capturing the capital Mandalay was concerned. The Burmese royal family was exiled to Ratnagiri, India. British forces spent at least another four years pacifying the country – not only in the Burman heartland but also in the Shan, Chinand Kachin hill areas. By some accounts, minor insurrections did not end until 1896.
