SINGAPORE, Sept 6 (The Straits Times/ANN): News that Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi is back in favour with Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn took citizens by surprise last Wednesday (Sept 2), but the development once again shone the spotlight on the King's personal life.

No one expected that Sineenat would be back in the royal fold. Then again, no one could have predicted her swift fall from grace 10 months ago either, less than three months after being made royal noble consort.
