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