Monarch

The Resume

    (May 14, 1953- )
    Born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
    Studied filmmaking in North Korea (1975-1977)
    Taught ballet in France (1981-2000)
    Appointed Cambodia’s UNESCO delegate (1993)
    King of Cambodia (October 14, 2004- )

Why he might be annoying:

    His father, Norodom Sihanouk, stated that he ‘loves women as his sisters’.
    His compliant nature made it easy for Prime Minister Hun Sen to continue his somewhat authoritarian administration.
    His role as king is largely ceremonial.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He’s popular in Cambodia.
    To date, he is the only ruling monarch in the world who can speak Czech.
    Prior to his coronation, he didn’t get involved in Cambodia’s haywire politics.
    The Khmer Rouge put him and his family under house arrest.
    His only full sibling, a brother, died in 2003.
    He didn’t want another Khmer crown to replace the old one that disappeared along with the rest of the Khmer royal regalia because Cambodia is a piss poor country.
    His coronation wasn’t extravagant and high-profile due to widespread poverty in Cambodia.
