Thailand Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn has requested that the Thai government strip his wife’s family of their royal name in the wake of a series of corruption arrests tied to gambling and smuggling rackets.

Princess Srirasmi Akharaphongpreecha is Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn's third wife, and the pair married in 2001.  They are expected to divorce.

The princess’s uncle, a senior police general, was arrested over accusations of amassing vast wealth through the smuggling and gambling rings.

The office of Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn has now sent a letter to the interior ministry ordering her family to be stripped of the royal name he bestowed on them when he married her, according to press reports from the BBC.

The world's longest-reigning monarch, King Bhumibol has been on the throne in Thailand since 1946.  He is in declining health.
