Health is a true wealth and grace that everyone desires more than anything else. It’s a reminder that even royals face the same struggles as the rest of us in staying fit and healthy.
In the latest shocking update, Thai Princess, who was once considered the future queen, suffered another health crisis after three years in a coma.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol, who has been in a coma since 2022, is battling an “uncontrollable” infection, according to the palace.
The eldest daughter of Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn, 73, aged 47, had long been seen as a likely successor to the throne before her shocking incident in 2022.
The princess, commonly called Bha, never married or had children and is the king’s only child with his first wife, Soamsawali Kitiyakara.
In a statement released on Thursday (May 21), the Royal Household Office said the princess was suffering from an abdominal infection and inflammation of the large intestine.
The palace added that Princess Bha had “unstable vital signs, low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat and abnormal blood clotting.”
Princess Bha has remained hospitalized and in a coma since December 2022, after collapsing from a heart condition while training dogs at the military dog training ground in Pak Chong district.
“She continues to rely on medical equipment to support the functioning of her lungs and kidneys,” the palace said, adding that her condition “continued to deteriorate” and the now “uncontrollable” infection has “affected other organs.”
The Thai royal family has released several updates on the princess’s health in the years since her hospitalization.
