Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol, a Thai royal known for her legal work and advocacy, dies at 47, according to statements from Thai royal officials. She is described across outlets as the eldest of King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s children and as a lawyer. Reports say she has been in medical care for several years after her condition deteriorated. In one account, she falls unconscious due to illness and is hospitalized, with care continuing for roughly three years before her death. Other coverage highlights her public work, including her involvement in justice reform and efforts focused on incarcerated women. One outlet says she is best known for the “Kamlangjai” (Inspire) project, which aims to help rehabilitate imprisoned Thai women ahead of their release. CBS also characterizes her as an advocate for women’s rights. While the outlets vary slightly in emphasis, they consistently report her age, her role within the royal family, her background in law, and that she dies after a prolonged period of illness and hospital care in Bangkok.
