Former Thai Princess Induratana has died at the age of 103.

She was the longest-surviving member of the Chakri dynasty and the last surviving member of the House of Paribatra. She was a cousin of Thailand’s reigning King Rama X.
Princess Induratana was born on 2 February 1922 in Bangkok in what was then Siam. She was the ninth child of Prince Paribatra and his second wife, Sombandh. She was the granddaughter of King Chulalongkorn and niece of Kings Rama VI and Rama VII.
She gave up her royal titles upon marriage to Somwang Sarasas on 4 February 1953. Together, they had three children before they divorced.
My name is Brittani, and I am from Tennessee, USA. I have a B.A. in Political Science and History from the University of Tennessee: Knoxville, and a master’s degree from Northeastern University. I’ve been passionate about history since I was a child. My favorite areas to study and research are World War II through the Cold War, as well as studying the ancient Romans and Egyptians. Aside from pursuing my passion for writing about history, I am a reporter for Royal News (our sister site!). I am also an avid reader who believes you can never stop learning! On any weekend in the fall, you can find me watching college football (American football) and cheering on my Tennessee Volunteers! You can contact me on Twitter @bbargerRC .
