BANGKOK (THE NATION / ASIA NEWS NETWORK, REUTERS) – The King of Thailand, Maha Vajiralongkorn, reinstated Ms Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi to her position as noble royal consort and restored her royal insignia and military rank, the palace announced in the gazette real on August 29.
The 35-year-old man had been stripped of all royal positions in October last year for failing to comply with codes of conduct and showing disloyalty to the king.
According to the 2019 announcement, Ms Sineenat had opposed the coronation of Queen Suthida and tried to influence the king to appoint her.
The statement published in the Royal Gazette on August 29 said that Ms Sineenat “is not contaminated” and therefore is entitled to the title of noble royal consort and all her previous positions within the palace.
“Therefore, the stripping of royal titles, the official position at the service of the crown in military capacity and military ranks and the withdrawal of all declarations has never taken place,” the statement said.
The order goes into effect on August 28.
Ms. Sineenat had disappeared after her public disgrace last year and her whereabouts could not be confirmed. This week, the Bild newspaper reported that he had arrived in Germany, where the Thai king spends much of the year.
Before her removal, Ms Sineenat held the rank of Major General in the King’s Royal Bodyguard Unit, where Queen Suthida was the Deputy Chief.
She has received military training and is also a certified pilot.
She graduated from the Royal Thai Army Nursing College and worked as a nurse from 2008 to 2012.
After that, he joined the Royal Household Office, working in the palace’s handicraft shop.
In July of last year, she was named a royal noble consort.
The following month, the palace released her official biography and a series of candid photos, including one of her wearing a crop top while piloting a jet and another of her holding the King’s hand. The unprecedented photos caused a stir and the Thailand palace website crashed.
King Vajiralongkorn was married three times when he was crown prince and has seven children, five sons and two daughters, from the marriages. Queen Suthida is his fourth wife. The royal couple have no children.
