INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
has fired four more officials, two palace announcements said on Tuesday, the latest shake up after the sacking of the king's royal consort
last week.In one announcement, two palace officials, identified as bedroom guards, were fired for "extremely evil misconduct" and
"adultery," which it said was a violation of a code of conduct for courtiers.In another document, two military officers were fired for being
"lax" in their duty as palace guards and "behaving unbecomingly of their ranks and titles."The four were all stripped of their ranks and
titles, the announcements said.The four dismissals on Tuesday followed those of six palace officials last week, who were accused of severe
disciplinary misconduct that caused harm to the royal service.Since taking the throne following the death of his revered father in 2016,
King Vajiralongkorn has proved to be an assertive constitutional monarch, taking more direct control of royal affairs and the crown's vast
wealth, and transferring two military units from the army to his personal control.Last week, the king also demoted Royal Consort Sineenat
Wongvajirapakdi in an extraordinary announcement, just months after granting her the title.She was accused of being "disloyal" and
conducting a rivalry with Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana, who married King Vajiralongkorn in May just days before his
coronation.(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by TheIndianSubcontinent staff and is published from a syndicated
