After the Crown Prince divorced his second wife in 1996, he disowned their four sons, leaving Dipangkorn as the only son recognised by the king.[1]
Princess Bajrakitiyabha, the second likely heir in line to the throne and oldest daughter of the king, was widely thought to be the next person in line until falling into a coma in December 2022.[2] Afterwards, Dipangkorn has been widely seen as the next-in-line.[3]
