Here's an English translation of an article in the Thai paper Matichon today that might turn out to have the same political significance as when the queen visited the funeral of a PAD supporter last year.
"At 11:40 a.m, on March 23, Mr. Saman Sunthana, the head photographer of H.R.H the Crown Prince, drove his motorcycle together with other officials who work for the Crown Prince, went to the red shirt rally and took pictures and video of the proceedings including pictures of the red shirt leaders and the atmostphere of the rally.
After a while, the leaders on the stage became aware of this and stated to the protesters "He does not abandon the protesters and r[I] request that you state 'Love Live the King' 3 times". The protesters then did so 3 times. The officials and photographer stayed for around 15 minutes before leaving"

In fact, it may be important. It is very well known that Khun Thaksin has pretty good relationships with Crown Prince.
