Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol, the eldest child of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, dies at 47, according to statements from Thailand’s Bureau of the Royal Household and the palace. Multiple outlets report she was seriously ill after collapsing and being taken to hospital in December 2022 following health problems while training her dogs. The Guardian and other reports say her condition left her gravely ill and in a coma for nearly four years. The Telegraph and NDTV report that she dies “peacefully” on Thursday evening (or Thursday, depending on the publication’s timing), after the situation worsened despite treatment. NDTV, the Inquirer and others attribute the decline to an abdominal infection, saying her condition continued to worsen over time. The sources also describe her as being in hospital throughout the period following her December 2022 collapse. Further details about funeral arrangements are mentioned by some outlets, including that her body will lie in state at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, with ceremonies carried out according to royal tradition and honours.
