===Family=== [[File:Cambodge - Roi et mère cropped.JPG|thumb|Sihanouk's spouse, Queen-Mother [[Norodom Monineath]], and their son King [[Norodom Sihamoni]] photographed at Sihanouk's funeral. To the extreme left is Sihanouk's half-brother, Prince [[Norodom Sirivudh]].]] On 4 March 1955, Sihanouk married [[Norodom Thavet Norleak]], as his official wife, who was a cousin from his mother's side. One day later, he married [[Paule Monique Izzi]], as his secondary consort, who was the daughter of Pomme Peang, a Cambodian, and Jean-François Izzi, a French banker of Italian ancestry.{{sfnp|Jeldres|2005|p=69}} Monique became Sihanouk's lifelong partner;{{sfnp|Jeldres|2005|p=70}} in the 1990s, she changed her name to Monineath.{{sfnp|Mehta|2001|p=182}} Before these marriages, Sihanouk married unofficially to four other women: [[Phat Kanhol]], [[Sisowath Pongsanmoni]], [[Sisowath Monikessan]], and [[Mam Manivan Phanivong]].{{sfnp|Jeldres|2005|pp=ii, iii (Genealogy of HM King Norodom Sihanouk)}} Monikessan died in childbirth in 1946. His marriages to the other four women, including his official wife Thavet Norleak, all ended in divorce.{{sfnp|Mehta|2001|p=5}} Sihanouk had fourteen children with five different wives. Thavet Norleak bore him no children.{{sfnp|Osborne|1994|pp=34–35}} During the Khmer Rouge years, five children and fourteen grandchildren disappeared.
