The princess, widely known as Princess Bha, passed away on Thursday following a prolonged illness. She had been in a coma for over three years, stemming from a cardiac condition that led to her collapse in December 2022. Mourners are gathering at the Grand Palace in Bangkok to pay their respects as her body is prepared for royal funeral rites. Princess Bha held a significant position within the Thai monarchy and was considered a potential heir to the throne. Her death marks a period of national mourning in Thailand.
