Thai king strips consort of titles for 'disloyalty'

21 October 2019

Thailand's King Vajiralongkorn has stripped his royal consort of her rank and titles for "misbehaviour and disloyalty against the monarch".

An official announcement said Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi had been "ambitious" and tried to "elevate herself to the same state as the queen".

"The royal consort's behaviours were considered disrespectful," it said.

She was appointed in July, just two months after the king married Queen Suthida, his fourth wife.

Sineenat, who was a major-general and is a trained pilot, nurse and bodyguard, was the first person to be awarded the title of Royal Noble Consort in nearly a century.

Because if the Thai people had any idea what a fraud he is, it would shatter their belief that the King is a deity. His father was much beloved but he is not his father. I shake my head about his “transformation” and am always amazed at how he has recreated himself into the image he now has on Thailand as the King. Until his father died, he was living essentially in exile at the Hilton Airport Hotel in Munich Germany with his entourage in a section of the hotel. His plane was always on standby and his collection of expensive cars parked out front. My contacts in Munich suggest he was also being treated medically for hepatitis and HIV and he was quite the party boy and bi-sexual. He had lots of problems with his parents and it’s one of the reasons they hid him in Germany from the Thai people. How he treated his 2 ex-wives who he stripped of their titles says a lot about him. Also I find it fascinating that he has been seen in Germany (before becoming King) with tank top on and he is covered in tattoos. I once mentioned that to a friend who is Thai and she didn’t believe me and even when I showed her pictures from the German media, she just shook her head and said that they were photoshopped. I was amazed at how either brainwashed the Thai are to believe their royalty are Gods or the fear to criticize the Thai Royal family because of these punitive laws. But a friend in Munich who is a Doctor at one of the Clinics he went to had seen them personally.

Who knows what his relationship with this “consort” was....but now he is punishing her and humiliating her....because he can.

PS: who wants to bet President Pussy Ass Bitch wishes he had these powers?
