Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha's condition worsens after multiple infections, royal palace says

The medical ​condition of Thai Princess Bajrakitiyabha ​has worsened ‌as a ​result of multiple infections in several organs, with physicians unable to contain ‌her irregular heart rate, the Royal Palace said in a statement on Thursday. The 47-year-old princess and eldest daughter ‌of King Vajiralongkorn was taken to hospital in December ‌2022 after she collapsed from a heart condition and other infections. She has been in a coma ever since.

After years of ⁠treatment, ​physicians discovered ⁠a stomach infection that led to inflammation in her intestines ⁠in April, causing her blood pressure to fall and her ​heartbeat to become irregular, the statement said. She has been ⁠given medicine and medical devices have been deployed to support her ⁠lungs ​and kidneys, but her health has continued to decline, the palace said, adding that doctors ⁠will continue to closely monitor her condition and provide further treatment. Last ⁠year, Thailand's ⁠influential Queen Mother passed away at the age of 93.
