Dipangkorn Rasmijoti

Dipangkorn Rasmijoti, born on April twenty-ninth, two thousand five, is the heir presumptive to the throne of Thailand. As the youngest child of King Vajiralongkorn, he holds a significant position within the royal lineage. His mother, Srirasmi Suwadee, is the king's third legal wife, further solidifying his place in the royal family.

Dipangkorn is the fifth son and the seventh child overall of King Vajiralongkorn. The king's family tree is complex, featuring a daughter from his first marriage and five children from his second wife, who were born out of wedlock but later legitimized through their mother's marriage. This intricate background highlights the unique circumstances surrounding Dipangkorn's birth and status.

Following the divorce of King Vajiralongkorn from his second wife in nineteen ninety-six, a significant shift occurred in the royal family dynamics. The king disowned his four sons from that marriage, leaving Dipangkorn as his only recognized son. This decision has positioned him as a central figure in the future of the Thai monarchy.
