. Because the royal couple has only one son, the Thai constitution was altered in 1974 to allow for female succession. This made Sirindhorn second-in-line to the throne (after Vajiralongkorn). Since the birth of a son to the crown prince in 2005, Sirindhorn has been third-in-line to the throne.

Sirindhorn enjoys the widespread admiration of the Thai people and is considered her father's intellectual successor.
