Thailand’s King Vajiralongkorn has stripped his royal consort of her rank and titles for “misbehaviour and disloyalty against the monarch”.<\/p>\n

An official announcement said Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi had been “ambitious” and tried to “elevate herself to the same state as the queen”.<\/p>\n

“The royal consort’s behaviours were considered disrespectful,” it said.<\/p>\n

She was appointed in July, just two months after the king married Queen Suthida, his fourth wife.<\/p>\n

Sineenat, who was a major-general and is a trained pilot, nurse and bodyguard, was the first person to be awarded the title of Royal Noble Consort in nearly a century.<\/p>\n

Queen Suthida – a 41-year-old former flight attendant and deputy head of his bodyguard unit – is King Vajiralongkorn’s long-term partner and has been seen with him in public for many years.<\/p>\n

The announcement that Sineenat had been stripped of her titles was published in the Royal Gazette on Monday. It marked a sudden fall from grace for the royal consort, who for several years was seen often at the side of King Vajiralongkorn.<\/p>\n

Even after the king’s marriage to Queen Suthida, Sineenat was a regular guest at royal events. _Agencies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
