Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol, the eldest daughter of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, has died at the age of 47 after spending nearly four years in a coma. The Royal Palace confirmed that her health recently deteriorated from multiple infections, prompting a high-level royal funeral with public condolences set to begin Sunday at the Grand Palace. An accomplished diplomat, prosecutor, and military officer, she was widely respected for her international roles and passionate advocacy for female prisoners’ rights. As a highly influential royal with a constitutional right to ascend the throne, her passing marks a profound loss that raises new questions about the future of the Thai monarchy.
