International Desk: The eldest child of Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn has been hospitalised due to a heart problem and her condition has stabilised to a certain level, the royal palace said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Princess Bajrakitiyabha, 44, was taken ill after losing consciousness early on Wednesday in northeastern Nakhon Ratchasima province and was treated at a local hospital.<\/p>\n
She was flown by helicopter to Bangkok after her condition stabilised at a certain level, the palace said in a statement, without elaborating.<\/p>\n
The princess is one of three children of King Vajiralongkorn who have formal titles, making her eligible for the throne under a 1924 Palace Law of Succession and the country’s constitution.<\/p>\n
King Vajiralongkorn has yet to formally designate an heir since becoming king in 2016 and there has been no official discussion on the prospect of the princess taking the throne.<\/p>\n
The princess, who has done work with the United Nations and has served as Thailand’s ambassador to Austria, Slovenia and Slovakia, was attending a working dog championship organised by the army when she lost consciousness, the palace said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
