During her father's tenure as governor of Kanaung and Myanaung under Bagyidaw, Khin The entered the palace and began serving as a lady-in-waiting to Nanmadaw Me Nu at the age of 13.

When Mindon did become king, it was challenging to fulfill this promise because she lacked royal blood, which faced opposition from officials and the crown prince.

Nevertheless, on March 26, 1853, she was crowned the Queen of the Northern Palace with the royal title Thiri Maha Yadana Mingala Dewi.

It's worth noting that in King Mindon's life, two desires remained unfulfilled: the appointment of his teacher U Sandima as the Thathanabaing of Burma (the head of the Buddhist Sangha), and the ability to make Khin the chief queen.

According to records, during the reign of King Thibaw, Queen Supayalat ordered the relocation of Khin The's tomb to a local cemetery, claiming that she did not belong to the royal bloodline.
