BANGKOK, Dec 13: The wife of Thailand’s Crown Prince has relinquished her royal title, the kingdom’s palace said today, the first official confirmation of her fall from grace after a string of relatives were arrested in a police corruption scandal.
“The king has granted permission to announce that Princess Srirasmi, the wife of Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, has informed in a written document that she has resigned from her royal status,” the palace said in a statement.
Princess Srirasmi married the Crown Prince in 2001. The couple have a son who is thought to be Vajiralongkorn’s most likely heir. (AGENCIES)
