The Thai Royal Palace announced her death on Friday. The princess had been hospitalized since December 2022 after collapsing during a walk with her dogs. She suffered from a mycoplasma infection in her heart, causing severe irregular heartbeats.

The Bureau of the Royal Household stated that the princess had been suffering from a stomach infection and her condition had been deteriorating. Her body will be placed at the Grand Palace in Bangkok for public and royal family members to pay their respects. Her funeral will be conducted with the highest honors according to royal tradition.
