Princess Ubol Ratana and Family


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Who/what gave an idea to Princess Ubolratana to run for an elected position?
Even if the princess demurs at the last moment, her flirtation with running changes Thai politics. It suggests the king, an aloof but meddling figure, is seeking a resolution to the standoff, rather than implicitly endorsing the suppression of the red shirts. That, in turn, makes Mr Prayuth look less secure. An election that seemed destined to conform to a predictable script has become much more intriguing.

When I heard about the candidacy, I thought it is a joke.
All this changes Thai politics, but how persistent this change is?

In Thailand, Many heard the rumor couple of days prior to the official announcement and were in shock. Clearly it was unprecedented for high-ranking member of the royal family to explicitly meddle with politics, something Thailand has never seen since the end of absolute monarchy in 1932. Plus, it was a polarized politics so that left one side (Anti-Thaksin fraction) very upset and one side (Pro-Thaksin fraction) very excited.

I'm not sure what did you mean by how persistent the change is. But if you're talking about her campaign for prime ministerial candidacy, it already ended. The King has said it was very inappropriate and unconstitutional and against the tradition and custom of this country.

From late King Bhumibol's children only she has grandchildren (from her elder daughter Ploypailin), doesn't she?

:previous: Yes true. So far neither the King's children nor the Princess's Chulabhorn daughters are married.


However I'm not sure about the sons of the King.

His eldest son married Riya Gough in 2013 according to his mother's wikipedia page. So, the king might be a grandfather.

Even if he is, he probably doesn't know his grandchild(ren).
