Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha dies after more than three years in coma, palace officials say
The palace said the 47-year-old princess died after more than three years in a coma, and officials will hold royal funeral rites.
- The royal palace confirmed yesterday that Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati, eldest child of Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn, died at 47 after nearly four years in a coma.
- Following her hospitalization in December 2022 in Nakhon Ratchasima after a heart condition, palace officials reported her condition worsened due to intra-abdominal infection, colitis, low blood pressure, arrhythmias, and blood clotting disorders.
- Before her illness, the princess served as an attorney in Thailand's Office of the Attorney-General, ambassador to Austria, Slovenia, and Slovakia, and a general in the Royal Security Command while founding a charity for female inmates.
- King Vajiralongkorn's succession structure shifts as the princess was one of three children eligible for the throne; Thailand's government is expected to declare national mourning and hold royal funeral rites.
- Her advocacy and public service remain central to her legacy in Thailand, including her 2017 appointment as goodwill ambassador for the rule of law by the United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
