Thailand’s Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati, the eldest child of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, dies at age 47, the Royal Household and royal palace say. Multiple outlets report she had been in a coma for nearly four years after falling ill in late 2022. Reports differ slightly on the timeline, with some stating she was in a coma for about three and a half years, but all describe the period as extending from 2022 into 2026. She is said to have suffered from a heart condition and multiple health problems before and during her coma. One outlet says she was rushed to hospital after suddenly collapsing in 2022 and never regained consciousness. Others describe her as “Princess Pa.” Several sources also highlight her role and public profile, including work aimed at improving the livelihoods of female prisoners and a diplomatic career. The accounts agree that her death is announced by the palace and follows prolonged illness and long-term unconsciousness.
