• Princess Bajrakitiyabha had been comatose for more than three weeks.
• The Princess collapsed due to a cardiac condition.
• The 44-year-old is the eldest child of Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn.

An update on the condition of the 44-year-old potential heir to the throne, Princess Bajrakitiyabha of Thailand, was provided in a palace statement. She had been comatose for more than three weeks after collapsing due to a cardiac condition.

According to a statement released by the palace late on Saturday, the Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s eldest child went unconscious on December 15 due to a serious heart arrhythmia brought on by inflammation brought on by a mycoplasma infection.

According to the palace, the princess’s “overall condition is that she remains unconscious.”

“Doctors continue to provide medicine and use equipment to support the functions of the heart, lung and kidney as well as using antibiotics while monitoring her condition closely,” it said.

While preparing her canines for a competition in the northeastern Nakhon Ratchasima province, Princess Bajarakitiyabha became ill. She was originally treated there before being flown to Bangkok.

She qualifies for the throne under the country’s constitution and a palace succession legislation because she is one of King Vajiralongkorn’s three children with formal titles.

The princess’s potential ascension to the throne has not been officially discussed by the monarch, who has yet to formally name an heir.
