Some people say that the Cambodian royal family is the poorest royal family in the world, and there is no one, which is of course true. The Cambodian royal family, from the empress dowager to the princess, dressed like the middle class, did not have a sparkling diamond crown, diamond necklace, or dazzling gem jewelry.
Look at other royal families, luxury is extreme, people are dazzling, people have as many diamonds as glass, and there are often articles on the Internet about the princess of Brunei like a golden mountain. The King of Saudi Arabia traveled to the top of the extravagant scene, with more than 500 tons of luggage, 1500 people accompanying, more than 150 chefs, and two special gilded elevators, the Boeing 747 jet is gilded.
In contrast, the Cambodian royal family is really poor, after the Lon Nol Rebellion and the Pol Pot Rebellion, the property has been confiscated, of course, there is no money, people can survive is already good. And now the Cambodian royal family has no real power, of course, can not get money.
But the Cambodian royal family is a long-standing royal family, at least more than a thousand years old, the current King Sihamoni is the 97th King of Cambodia, and the Thai King was only passed down to the tenth, and the wealthy Saudi Arabia was established in 1932.
While many countries were still tribes, Cambodia was already a country. The first king of Cambodia, Queen Liuye, founded Cambodia at the end of the 1st century AD, of course, the name of the country at that time was Funan, and also established friendly relations with the Eastern Han Dynasty of China.
Queen Liuye's husband is a mixture of outsiders, and the husband and wife jointly govern Funan. Mixed filling teaches Funan people to make clothes, brings advanced natural knowledge and agricultural technology to The Funan people, and encourages the Funan people to learn to farm, hunt and fish. This is also too much like the ancient Chinese. Therefore, some people infer that the mixed filling is most likely from China.
Although Cambodia has also gone through several dynasties: the Kingdom of Fu Nam, the Kingdom of Chenla, the Angkor Dynasty, and the Phnom Penh Dynasty, the current King, His Majesty Sihamoni, is still a descendant of the first King.
If the maternal and paternal lines are calculated, the Cambodian royal family, which is related to each other, has a history of more than 1940 years, and the Cambodian royal family has lasted for more than 700 years in the case of only counting the paternal line, and in 1296, the son-in-law of King Jayavarman VIII of Cambodia, Indravarma III, who is the patrilineal ancestor of the current King of Cambodia, succeeded to the throne.
The European royal family has been transferred from patrilineal to matrilineal, and then from matrilineal to patrilineal, and it is not known how many circles have been turned in the middle. European royals say that a prince marries a princess, but there are still offspring of illegitimate children, and the patrilineal or matrilineal ancestors are of low birth.
For example, King Henry VII of England, whose father, Edmund Tudor, was the illegitimate son of the English Empress (Henry V's wife, Henry VI's mother) and the housekeeper Tudor, and was the illegitimate son of the mistress and the maid. Tudor, the butler who waited for the hostess, succeeded in adding his surname to the English dynasty, more successfully than Zhao Ji's concubine Yi.
Henry VII's maternal ancestors were also descendants of illegitimate children, and Henry VII's mother, Margaret Beaufort, was the granddaughter of John Beaufort. John Beaufort was the illegitimate son of John of Gunter, Duke of Lancaster, And his mistress, Catherine Swinford, Prince of England. Catherine Swinford was john Beaufort's maid, who became a mistress and had several children, when the eldest son was 18 years old, from a junior to a second wife.
Queen Elizabeth Woodville of King Edward IV of England was also of low birth, her mother was a duchess and her father was the duke's male bodyguard. After the Duke's death, her mother remarried to her father, compared with the chairman's wife to the driver.
Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth Woodville may have come from many European royal families, but others are not as famous as him. Some people call the European royal family blue-blooded nobles, but the ancestors of the nobles had illegitimate children, maids, butlers, and male bodyguards.
Cambodia is different, the Cambodian royal family has always been married by close relatives, all princes marry princesses, take king Sihanouk's parents, that is, cousins married, Sihanoukville's father is a descendant of Cambodia's king Anton, and his mother is also a descendant of Cambodia's king Anton.
The birth mother of King Sihamoni, Empress Monilie, is not a queen of the royal family, but a wealthy merchant, but from King Sihamoni's father, King Sihanouk, to the upper counts, generations of ancestors, whether patrilineal or matrilineal, are royal.
Historically and by blood, King Sihamoni is the most honorable king of all blood in the world, and there is no one. Those royal families who use brilliant gold diamonds to show off their wealth are only upstarts compared with the Cambodian royal family, and the last ten generations may have been pawns of peddlers who led cars to sell pulp.
True honor does not need jewelry to prove that the royal family that uses brilliant gold and diamonds to show off its wealth has nothing but money, and too luxurious will cause the people to resent it.
King Sihamoni not only had a noble bloodline, but also an aristocratic temperament left by a noble bloodline, which was proved by loving the people like a son and being gentle and humble. King Sihamoni wore the clothes of a migrant worker's uncle, went to the countryside to help the poor under the scorching sun, delivered supplies to the people, the people were moved to kneel, he also squatted down to return the salute, this is the real nobleman!
In the world, there seems to be only Princess Sirindhorn, a nobleman like King Sihamoni, who has the qualities of "going deep into the people, loving the people, being frugal and humble"? Princess Sirindhorn is a Thai princess, everyone is familiar with it, there is no need to introduce it.
King Sihamoni is arguably the most honorable king of all blood in the world, and there is no one.
