The King was playing bridge at the Phayathai Palace where a painting contest was also being held, with many women in the social circle of the royal family in attendance, when they met.

The King and Princess Wanwimon Worawan reportedly connected over their similar tastes in the arts and literature, and shared an appreciation for witty, urbane conversation.

Shortly after the news of King Rama VI's engagement to Princess Wanwimon Worawan, she became known by the new name of Vallabha Devi.

[4][5] Just eight months after their engagement had been first announced, news came that it was to be dissolved—the royal rank of the Princess was reduced and she was requested to reside within the palace for the remainder of the King's reign.

After the death of King Rama VI, Worawan lived at Phra Karuna Niwas Palace at Phichai Road.
