The House of Norodom (Khmer: រាជវង្សនរោត្តម, UNGEGN: Réachôvôngs Nôroŭttâm, ALA-LC: Rājavangs Narottam [riəceaʔʋɔŋ nɔroːɗɑm]; lit. 'Norodom dynasty') is the ruling royal house of Cambodia. Its members are direct descendants of King Norodom (1860–1904), a son of the "Great-King", Ang Duong. The current head of the House of Norodom is the current king of Cambodia, Norodom Sihamoni. Norodom is one of only two royal houses of Cambodia. Its counterpart, the House of Sisowath, is named after another son of Ang Duong, Sisowath. Four members have served as Kings of Cambodia, and three as Prime Ministers led by the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) that ruled Cambodia as an authoritarian single-party state after it won all 125 seats in cities, towns and provinces throughout the country in the election campaign since 2018.[1]
