5 times Royal affairs shocked the world

In another royal drama back in 2019, Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Rama X) publicly stripped his hand-picked mistress and royal consort, Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi, of all her titles, military ranks, and royal honours. The reason: The palace accused her of “disloyalty” and trying to elevate herself to the same status as Queen Suthida— which was considered a bold and politically perilous—move

Just months earlier, she had become the first officially designated royal consort in nearly a century, a grand appointment that made headlines across Thailand. Yet that rise ended abruptly when she was accused of “misbehaviour” and disobedience toward the Queen, as per reports.

Adding to the dramatic turn, roughly 10 months later, a royal decree reinstated her titles, declaring she had “never been a tarnished person,” as if the dismissal had never happened!
