Born in 1936, Norodom Monineath turns 77 today…
Journeys Within would like to wish the Queen Mother Norodom Monineath a happy birthday today. Born in what is current day Vietnam to a Khmer mother and French father, her name at birth was Paile-Monique Izzi. The Queen Mother married Father Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia in 1952, and gave birth two sons: the current King Norodom Sihamoni, born of May 14, 1953 and Royal Highness Prince Norodom Narindrapong, born September 18, 1954.
At 77, she remains the image of culture and beauty in Cambodia. We would like to wish the Queen Mother all the best in her upcoming year.
Happy birthday to Queen Mother Norodom Monineath.
