BANGKOK - When Thailand’s newly crowned King Maha Vajiralongkorn named one of his bodyguards as Noble Royal Consort on his birthday in July, no one had held the title for nearly a century, dating back to the days of absolute monarchy.
Such laudatory images previously had been reserved for the king’s close relatives - and they resembled the military-style photos of the king’s wife, Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana, on her birthday in June.King Vajiralongkorn, 67, stripped her of her titles in an order calling her “disloyal”, “ungrateful” and “ambitious”.
The announcement came days after the palace abruptly postponed a Royal Barge Procession scheduled for Thursday. The event caps year-long celebrations of King Vajiralongkorn’s coronation after he took the throne following the 2016 death of his father. The public disgrace of a royal consort is uncharted territory in Thailand, where reverence of the monarchy is deeply ingrained and strict lese majeste laws forbid criticizing the royal family, with insults punishable by up to 15 years in prison.Both the queen and Sineenat had been granted military titles by King Vajiralongkorn in his personal bodyguard unit over several years. Their personal relationships with the king were only confirmed with palace announcements this year.
She became a royal guard in 2015 with the rank of major in the Royal Thai Army. She was named a colonel and granted a command of a battalion in 2018. Shortly before the coronation, she was promoted to major general. While he was crown prince, he was married and divorced three times, with at least two of his unions ending with public signs of acrimony.
