Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol, 44, has degrees from Cornell and was Thailand’s ambassador to Austria, yet little is known beyond her public image
The American-educated Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol, known by her nickname Princess Bha, is widely viewed as the most viable option to succeed the throne in Thailand. She is the oldest daughter of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and his only child from his first marriage.
The king has never declared that the princess would take his place but she is one of just three children with royal titles and is a commander in his bodyguard unit.
