Seems like nobody's asking this so might as well do it.

We’re on holiday in Thailand and we visited the old king’s summer palace. Our guide told us a super sad story:

Apparently there was an accident long ago involving the queen and her baby daughter when the boat they were on, sank on the palace lake.

Even though there were lots of people around who were able to help, no-one could save them because nobody was allowed to touch the royals.

The queen and baby daughter drowned with everybody watching powerlessly.

Heartbreaking stuff man. Needed a moment to process that…
