On November 18, 2019, Princess Norodom Pak hua Devi of Cambodia died of illness in Thailand at the age of 76. Many Cambodians gathered on both sides of the road to see the princess coffin, and King Sihamoni also wrote a message expressing his sadness at the death of his eldest sister.
The princess's body was to be cremated, and the tears of The Queen Monilje did not stop when the cremation began, and members of the Cambodian royal family and government officials also paid a silent farewell to the princess.
After the death of Princess Pak Hua Devi, the Cambodian Prime Minister announced that he would be designated as the princess's day of mourning two days later, when government agencies and businesses would lower their flags to half-mast to mourn the princess.
Such a scene can be called a national mourning, because her contribution to Cambodia is enough to be remembered by history.
Pahua Devi is the meaning of the flower god, as the name suggests, the beauty of Princess Pahua Devi is not even as good as the flowers, coupled with the temperament cultivated when learning dance, she is called "the most beautiful woman in the Cambodian royal family".
Princess Pahua Devi's mother was the first wife of the old Cambodian king Sihanouk, named Ganho. Ganho was a very good dancer, and she also relied on her own beautiful dance to deeply attract the old king. Pahua Devi inherited her mother's dance genes, which belonged to the kind of food that God appreciated and ate.
At the age of 5, she studied Cambodian royal classical dance with her grandmother, Queen Goshaman, and soon her dancing talent was revealed.
At the behest of her grandmother, 15-year-old Pahua Devi performed her first performance at the Royal Ballet. Entering the dance troupe at a young age, it can be said that she took advantage of the status of a princess, but 3 years later, the 18-year-old Pava Devi became the principal of the ballet by her own efforts, and this time she served the public with her strength.
Soon after, Pava Devi became a household name for being an excellent dancer, and often led the dance troupe to visit performances. As a neighbor of Cambodia, China has been visited by Princess Pahua Devi many times.
The 21-year-old Pava devi also visited France with her father and gave a wonderful performance at the Paris Opera. The Cambodian classical dance performance is gorgeous and graceful, and all the audiences are deeply attracted.
After the performance, de Gaulle, then president of France, also warmly received Princess Pava Devi, who gave such a wonderful performance to the audience, and praised the performance. Even, de Gaulle deliberately found Princess Pahua Devi, and in front of Sihanouk, said that her dance had fascinated her deeply.
Of course, Pahua Devi was not only fascinated by De Gaulle, she was young and beautiful and married 4 times, and let Indonesian President Sukarno fall in love with her at first sight. Sukarno, who already had four wives, even told Sihanouk that he had asked to marry his daughter, but Sihanouk refused.
Sihanouk said directly to Sukarno, my daughter is seeing a love one, will you be my five-pack horse? Sukarno heard the implications, so he didn't mention it again. Sukarno and the Japanese woman Lady Devi's affair, who does not know who does not know.
In February 1959, the 16-year-old princess married the prince of the royal family; in 1960, the two divorced, and in the same year, the second marriage of The flower devi was also married to the prince of the Cambodian royal family.
In 1962, Pava devi divorced her second husband, and in 1963 she married an Italian, and her marriage to the Italian did not end, and Pava devi married a fourth husband. Pahua Devi and these four husbands had 5 children.
Some people may ask, Pava Devi married in succession, what about her children? Of course it was all watched by her grandmother for her. It has to be mentioned here that Pahua Devi was indeed beautiful when she was young, but because of too much childbirth, she grew a lot of dark spots on her face when she was old, which really became ugly.
We return to the truth, at the age of 23, Pahua Devi participated in the film directed by her father, in this movie called "Apsara Heavenly Daughter", her role is very suitable for her identity as a dancer, is a "sky dancer", the special presentation of the film, so that more people are impressed by her light and beautiful dance.
Unfortunately, the power struggle in the 1970s led members of the royal family to take refuge abroad, and Pakwa Devi, as a princess, fled first to the cambodian border with Thailand and later to Paris.
In such a turbulent environment, in order to prevent the art from dying in the war, Princess Pahua Devi gathered the survivors and organized and preserved the dance repertoire and movements, leaving a spark for the development of this art later.
In 1982, then-King Sihanouk returned to Cambodia, and members of the royal family followed suit. Princess Pahua Devi, who returned to her homeland in 1991, was appointed Minister of Culture and the Arts.
Princess Pahua Devi's first goal after succeeding to the throne was to promote the revival and development of royal classical dance, and this goal was even more difficult to promote. In order to gain international recognition, Princess Pava Devi has toured abroad many times to promote the international popularity of this art.
Finally, in 2003, the Royal Court Dance of Cambodia was inscribed on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. But this is only the beginning, there is still a long way to go to protect the inheritance of the royal court dance, and Princess Pava Devi is still working hard for this goal before leaving. In addition, the princess has also trained many descendants of Cambodian royal court dance, which can be said to be indispensable for the dissemination of Cambodian culture.
Her departure is a great loss for Cambodia, as she is "Cambodia's heritage of humanity".
It can be seen that Cambodia's artistic atmosphere is very strong, and with the change of the times, many young royals have chosen another way to show art, that is, to enter the entertainment circle. After all, there are many members of the Cambodian royal family, and although they are born in the royal family, they are not allowed to "show their faces" to make a living.
Princess Norodom Orpheus is one of them, the niece of the current King of Cambodia, Sihamoni, who debuted as a model.
In 2020, Princess Ofie took a group of photos for a clothing brand, but her teenage performance was very mature. She was wearing a long white polka-dot skirt, her long hair was slightly curled behind her head, and her wheat-colored skin looked healthy, and although the smile on her face was not obvious, it was also very smart and beautiful.
Don't look at Princess Orpheus is not a beauty in the traditional sense, the skin color is too dark, the facial features are not so atmospheric, but it has a different charm. Who says that only white skin, big eyes, and high nose bridge are beautiful?
In the photo above, Ofie looks more mature, and the next one is very in line with the youthful beauty of teenagers.
The black slip dress adds a lot of lively sexiness to Offi, the accessories are only small stud earrings and black hair rings on the hands, and the bright smile on the face is obvious and the charm is infinite.
Princess Ofie's expressiveness is very good, and the future can be expected. Also, do you think That Princess Orpheus has a senior model face?
Doesn't this off-the-shoulder leopard print dress look more mature?
Another is Princess Norodom Jenna, who is younger and the youngest member of the Cambodian royal family. Because she is a mixed-race child, she has a very delicate little face, coupled with the intentional cultivation of her mother Princess Norodom Popali, she is now very young, and she has become quite popular on major platforms, a bit like Cambodian Internet celebrities.
Although she can already eat "by the face", Princess Jenna is still trying to learn a lot of things, of course, this is inseparable from her mother's teaching.
Princess Popali chose the path of internet celebrity for her daughter, so she took advantage of the multi-country living environment to teach her daughter to learn the language, and princess Jenna was able to communicate proficiently in five languages at the age of 7. In addition, Jenna also learns vocal music, dance, and physical fitness.
Now Princess Jenna is still active on major social platforms, she will share her life in her own channel, but also send some singing and dancing videos, fans know that she not only learned cambodia's traditional classical dance, but also danced well in Korean girl group dance. Of course, Princess Jenna also shot covers for many magazines and also participated in Cambodian costume dramas.
Cambodian princesses are excellent! Although slightly different, each has its own development. Compared with other royal princesses, relying on God to appreciate food, Cambodian princesses seem to work very hard. Of course, there is no road in vain in life, and every step counts.
