• Coronation.The price of royal boato in Thailand

The Royal House of Thailand announced on Wednesday the expulsion of six other palace officers , two days after stripping the title of consort of King Vajiralongkorn to Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi, for "disloyal" and "ambitious."

In two different communiqués and published by the Royal Gazette, the official state bulletin, the dismissal and withdrawal of ranks were communicated to several police, military and other workers linked to the palace activity as the one in charge of dogs and other animals.

The reasons argued for cessation are the undisciplined conduct of those affected and the use of their position to achieve personal benefits, says the official brief.

This purge, which has not transcended more data, comes after the unexpected fall in disgrace of Sineenat, which became part of the Royal House only three months ago, and that Monday was labeled as "unfair", "ambitious" and "ungrateful" and also lost his rank of General of the Army and member of the royal guard .

The appointment as "noble royal consort" ("Chao Khun Phra") of Sineenat, a former nurse in a military hospital, was the first in almost 100 years, since the title had become obsolete. He also took the population by surprise, since in May Vajiralongkorn had married without prior notice, three days after his coronation, with the current Queen Suthida , an old flight attendant who had also been part of the special royal security corps.

In the past, Thai monarchs were polygamous , a practice that was abandoned in the 20th century and legally abolished in 1935. Sineenat, 34, appeared in August posing holding hands with the monarch in a series of official photographs released in the website of the Royal House, where it also appeared flying planes or with military uniform and accompanied by a biography.

According to the official brief published on Monday night, the hitherto "royal consort" would have conspired with the claim to win the title of queen before and after the marriage of King Vajiralongkorn with Queen Suthida. The king, who since his rise to the throne has expanded his powers and control over the money of the Royal House , has failed to inherit the popularity of his father, who reigned for seven decades and died October 2016.

Thailand has one of the toughest laws of the majesty of the world, which precludes any public debate on the decisions of the monarch and which provides penalties of between three and 15 years in prison for defame, insult or threaten the king, queen, prince heir or members of the Royal House.
