Former Thai Princess

A senior Thai palace aide who served the now disgraced ex-wife of the Crown Prince was arrested today under the country's controversial lese majeste law, part of an ongoing probe that has decimated the former princess's family.

The elderly parents of a former Thai princess were both jailed for two and a half years today after pleading guilty to defaming the monarchy, an institution protected by one of the world's toughest lese majeste laws.
