A THAI royal consort who was purged for “disloyalty” after running afoul of the Queen has made a sudden and unexpected comeback, with the king reinstating her titles.

Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi was stripped of her rank and titles last year just three months after she became the consort, accused on national television of “disloyalty” and “ambition” to match the position of Queen Suthida.
