Hong Kong: The princess whose shock candidacy in Thailand’s general election sent jitters through the country attended a glitzy wedding for ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra’s daughter in Hong Kong.

Princess Ubolratana’s short-lived political venture was stopped by her brother King Maha Vajiralong­korn, who said in a royal command that it was highly inappropriate.
