Mourners gather in Bangkok to pay respects following the death of Princess Bajrakitiyabha at age 47. Multiple outlets report that she has been in a hospital since collapsing while out training her dogs in late 2022, and that she remained in a coma for nearly four years. Coverage describes a public grieving period as crowds line streets and attend ceremonies, including a funeral procession that moves toward the Grand Palace. People remember her royal role as second in line to the throne, as well as her campaigning and work aimed at supporting underprivileged communities. The Guardian and other referenced reports characterize the funeral as moving from public viewing and tribute activities toward palace proceedings. The New York Times and The Telegraph similarly report her death after a prolonged coma and note her age at the time of death. While details of the full schedule and specific rituals are not fully laid out across the excerpts, all accounts align on the circumstances of her illness and the public nature of the mourning in Bangkok.
