BANGKOK, June 12 (Reuters): Thailand's Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati, the eldest child of Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn, ​has died at 47, the royal palace said on Friday, after multiple problems and nearly four years in a coma.

The princess was hospitalised in December 2022 after a sudden loss of consciousness caused by a heart condition while visiting the northeastern province of ​Nakhon Ratchasima. Bajrakitiyabha was flown by helicopter to the capital Bangkok for treatment.

She ​died on Thursday evening, after her condition worsened due to an ⁠intra-abdominal infection, colitis, low blood pressure, arrhythmias, and blood clotting disorders, the palace statement ​said.

Bajrakitiyabha, popularly known as Princess Pa, was born on December 7, 1978, to the ​then Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn and his first wife, Princess Soamsawali.
