The eldest daughter of King Vajiralongkor, Princess Bajrakitiyabha, collapsed while training her dogs Northeast of Bangkok, the Palace disclosed.
The 44-year old Princess was rushed to a hospital nearby, and then moved to Bangkok by helicopter, where she is being medically attended to.
The Princess’ condition last night was described by the Palace as “stable to a certain extent”.
However, some reports say her condition is a way more serious.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha has been a member of her father’s innermost circle since succeeding King Bhumibol in 2016, alongside has been made a senior officer in the personal guard of the King.

Of the inner royal circle, she is obviously the most accomplished, bagging post-graduate degrees in law from two US universities.
Under a 1924 Palace Law of Succession, she is eligible for the throne, being one of the King’s three children who possess formal titles.
King Vajiralongkorn is yet to name an heir to the throne, Princess Bajrakitiyabha, however, is largely regarded as the most fit to succeed the King.
