Cambodian monarchy

The Cambodian monarchy is a constitutional monarchy where the king is the head of state, serving as a symbol of national unity and tradition, while elected officials handle government affairs. The monarchy's role is largely ceremonial, with the king acting as a unifying figure and cultural custodian. Cambodia's royal family has historical significance, and the monarchy is protected by law, symbolizing continuity and national identity. The current king, as of 2023, is King Norodom Sihanouk’s descendants, who uphold the monarchy’s cultural and historical importance within Cambodia's political framework.
