    Early life and education

    Prince Norodom Yuvaneath was born on 17 October 1943 at the Royal Palace of Cambodia, Phnom Penh as the eldest son and second child of Norodom Sihanouk and Sisowath Pongsanmoni.[1] At the time, Cambodia was under Japanese occupation whilst his father had previously been crowned on 3 May 1941. Prince Yuvaneath attended Sisowath High School in Phnom Penh where he learnt to speak French and English along with his native Khmer.[2]

    Exile from Cambodia

    At age 27, he joined his father in going into exile in China following a coup which abolished the monarchy and established the Khmer Republic. They would reside together in Beijing until Yuvaneath moved with his wife Tea Kim Yin to go live in Hong Kong. He again moved with his family to Connecticut in the United States where he was employed with the US Surgical Corporation.[3]
