The official royal consort of Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn has been stripped of her title, according to a Royal Gazette statement. The title, ranking and all medals have been removed from Sineenat Bilaskalayani for inappropriate behaviour and a failure to be loyal to the monarch, according to the statement released Monday night in Bangkok. Sineenat, 34, was the first person to hold the title of Royal Noble Consort in almost a century. “Sineenat’s behaviour disrespected the monarchy, caused conflict among royal household officials and created misunderstanding among the public,” it went on to say. In August, the palace released unprecedented pictures and a biography of Sineenat, which provided a rare insight into royal life.
