commissioned as a major in the Royal Thai Army and took part in royal ceremonies with
Vajiralongkorn. When she fled to Britain in 1996 with their children, Vajiralongkorn had
posters placed around his palace accusing her of committing adultery with Anand
Rotsamkhan, a 60-year-old air marshal.
The prince abducted their daughter and brought her back to Thailand to live with him. She was
later elevated to the rank of princess, whilst Sujarinee and her sons were stripped of their
diplomatic passports and titles. She and her sons later moved to the United States. As of 2007,
Sujarinee is known as Sujarinee Vivacharawongse.
Vajiralongkorn married again, on 10 February 2001, to Srirasm Akharaphongpreecha, a
commoner from an otherwise modest background who had been in his service since 1992. The
marriage was not disclosed to the public until early 2005. She gave birth to a son, Prince
Dipangkorn Rasmijoti, on 29 April 2005 and was elevated to become Princess Srirasm, Mom
Srirasm Mahidol na Ayuthaya. The son was immediately elevated to the rank of Prince.
