| Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn and his royal consort, Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi, who on Monday lost her royal title and military rank. |
King Maha Vajiralongkorn on Monday stripped Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi, 34, of all her royal title and military rank for disloyalty, Channel News Asia and the BBC reported, citing the palace.
The 67-year-old king had bestowed on Wongvajirapakdi the title of royal noble consort in July in a ceremony attended by Queen Suthida, whom the king had married just two months earlier.The role of the royal noble consort is to be the king's spouse or companion. Wongvajirapakdi, believed to be one of the king's longtime girlfriends, was the first person to receive that title since 1921.BREAKING: Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn removes Noble Consort Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi from royal and military titles pic.twitter.com/wf6PBP7SxE— Pichayada P.

According to the palace's statement, translated from Thai by the Channel News Asia correspondent Pichayada Promchertchoo, Wongvajirapakdi had tried to stop the king from marrying Suthida in May because she wanted to be queen herself.

The Thai king had tried to ease tensions between Wongvajirapakdi and Suthida after the marriage by giving Wongvajirapakdi the title of royal consort — an approach that appears not to have worked.
Despite her new rank in the royal court, Wongvajirapakdi "did everything to make herself equal to Queen Suthida" by showing disobedience to the royal couple and giving commands and claiming that the king had told her to do so, Promchertchoo said, paraphrasing the palace.
The palace's official announcement described Wongvajirapakdi as "ambitious" and "disrespectful," the BBC reported.
