btw, she is a granddaughter of King Bhumibol, isn't she?
Princess Siriwanwari is the fifth child of the Crown Prince and his first wife.
She must be in special favour by the King because last year he raised her to Royal Highness, while her four brothers remain Serene Highnesses.
Thai Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn (L) sits next to Princess Srirasmi (R) as they attend a ploughing ceremony in the Thai capital Bangkok, 11 May 2006. A Thai royal court soothsayer 11 May predicted less rain water this year but said during the annual ploughing ceremony that crop production would be abundant and fertile.

Mandyy, thanks very much for these pictures.
I can't believe there's so many pictures of the little boy.
It seems like he will be the successor for the Crown Prince in many years to come, and probably being groomed up to be Thai's future king.
He really looks very adorable.. since the day he was born (with lots of hair..)
I've not been a follower of the Thai Royal Family and hence i ask this questions..pls forgive me if the question comes across a little dumb..
Has the CP Maha Vajiralongkorn been married before? Is Pss Srirasmi is second wife? And if so, where and who is his first wife - did something happen to that marriage or is this part of the old tradition that allows the CP to take more than 1 wife?
His first wife is PSS Somsawali, mother of Pss Bhajarakitiyapa the eldest daughter of CP. After divorced she still keep her royal title and enjoyed her life. She can be seen in many state ceromonies even in the King's diamond jubilee. In many occasion the King and Queen appointed her to be their majesties representative in many gala parties. :)
The second wife is Yuwathida, actually CP never married with her just a long affair that resulted 4 sons and 1 daughter. After seperate their relationship, CP send his ex-lover and 4 sons to live in USA. CP keeps only the daughter, Pss Sririwanwaree.
After being single for about 5 years, CP married again with the present wife, PSS Srirassamee.
In the pics you can see a lovely family of three royal generations - the King, Pss Srisassmi and one year old prince Dipankorn (I don't know who is that old lady maybe the royal photographer ) and another one with Thongdeang the king favorite dog

Wikipedia is correct. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is indeed titled as Crown Princess. This was by special proclamation by the Thai King. It's a special title for her personally. Thai royal titles have a large range of grades.
The Crown Prince's present wife doesn't have the title Crown Princess as others have noted. As in many Asian or Arab monarchies, titles are not automatically bestowed on the wife of Kings or Princes, unlike European monarchies (usually). So the wife of the Moroccan King is not called Queen. The rulers in the Malaysian states have different titles for their consorts, and for their heirs & their wives.
