According toCoconuts, Wanchaleom Jamneonphol publicly posted a photo of the evening gown designed by Princess Sirivannavari specifically for Miss Thailand Sophida Kanchanarin to wear before the recent Miss Universe final night.
Wanchalom was immediately accused of cybercrime and violating the "lese majeste" (blasphemy) law.
In Thai law, this law, which dates back to 1908, makes it a crime for anyone to defame, insult or threaten the royal family, including the king, queen, heir or regent, with penalties of up to 15 years in prison.
Wanchaleom Jamneonphol deleted the related images but the Thai princess took pictures as evidence.
She later publicly apologized: "I really didn't know my comments would affect the royal family. I feel truly sorry and sincerely apologize for what happened."
