Princess Bajrakitiyabha, eldest child of Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn, dies at 47 after nearly four years in a coma, raising questions about royal succession in a sensitive monarchy.
The king's eldest daughter, 47, died after a 3+ year battle with an abdominal infection, with her condition worsening despite medical support.
Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has received a royal pardon, effective Wednesday. He served eight months of a one-year sentence for corruption and abuse of power before his early release last month due to age. A government committee will decide on the removal of his electronic monitoring device.
