Thiri Thu Ketha Devi (18?? – 1882), commonly known as Pin Princess (Template:Lang-my) was a Devi-level royal princess during the late Konbaung dynasty. She was one of the three virgin daughters of King Mindon.[1][2]
Life
Pin Princess was the second daughter among four children of King Mindon and his consort Zabwedaung Mibaya. Her eldest sister and youngest brother died at their young ages. Her only alive sister was Momeik Princess.[3]
At the opening ceremony of King Mindon's royal palace (ဥကင်တော်ဖွင့်မင်္ဂလာ) in 1854, she has conferred the title of Thiri Thu Ketha Wadi, and later promoted to Thiri Thu Ketha Devi. She was granted the appanages of Moe Hlaing. When her mother died in 1857, she received the appanage of Pin and was hence known as Pin Hteik Khaung Tin. She and her sister were adopted by Setkya Dewi since their mother's death.[1]
Pin Princess was married to Mekkhaya Prince in 1863. Since Mekkhaya Prince had already about six children, he did not go to her chamber, and she remained as a virgin. Later they got divorced as she had some mental problems.[1]
Pin Princess died in 1882.[1]
