Thailand is in mourning following reports that Princess Bajrakitiyabha, the eldest daughter of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, has died at the age of 47 after nearly four years in a coma. The princess reportedly suffered severe heart-related complications that led to her long-term critical condition. A highly educated royal figure with a doctorate from Cornell University, she was known for her work on justice reform and advocacy for women prisoners. Her passing marks a significant moment for the Thai monarchy and raises renewed questions about royal succession and the future structure of the Thai royal family and its leadership.
