The website crashed after publishing several photos of Thailand's king's newly anointed royal companion or consort. According to a BBC report, the website crashes due to many people accessing the website at the same time.
The 'candid', or undressed, photos show Sininat Ongvajirapakdi, the 34-year-old royal consort of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, flying warplanes, on military parades and wearing battle dress, the BBC reported.
A BBC report also said that consort is a title given by the king to his wife or partner. The 67-year-old King Maha Vajiralongkorn gave the title to Sinyat last July. Just two months before this he married Queen Suthida. This Suthida is the fourth wife of the king. And Sininat is a major general, the first person in a century to have already been given the special title of 'Royal Noble Consort'.
The BBC reported that the website where the images were published was virtually shut down under the pressure of viewers. Not only the picture, but also his biography is published along with the picture, according to media reports.
A BBC report, citing the Palace of Thailand, also said that the Thai king had ordered a royal biography of Siniat. Basically she is a trained pilot, nurse and bodyguard. Queen Suthida, 41, is a former airman and deputy head of the king's bodyguard unit, media reports said. He was a long-time companion of the King and was seen in public with the King for many years. It is known from the news media that a lot of articles have been written about him in many news media.
Notably, Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn ascended the Thai throne after his father died in 2016.
