Summary of article:

Police have raided the Bangkok home of a British journalist's wife and questioned her for several hours in connection with his social media posts containing photographs purported to be of Thailand's crown prince - the heir apparent to the throne - wearing a crop top and sporting a huge tattoo on his back.

'There is at least one error in the [Bild] article - it names the poodle as Foo Foo, but in fact Foo Foo is dead, and the poodle in the photographs is actually called Fee Fee,' Marshall wrote on Facebook.
