PHNOM PENH - Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni cannot attend the wedding of Britain's Prince William, Phnom Penh's foreign ministry said Saturday, but denied he had ignored the invitation.
British daily The Sun had reported that King Sihamoni was the only one of and estimated 40 foreign royals invited to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29 not to reply.
"His Majesty the King already responded to the invitation on April 8," Cambodian foreign ministry spokesman Koy Kuong told AFP.
"Due to his royal work, the king is unable to attend the royal wedding," he added.
A worldwide television audience of two billion people is set to watch the event live while crowds of hundreds of thousands are expected to line the route from London's Westminster Abbey to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds.
King Sihamoni, 57, is currently in China for a medical checkup.
His father, former Cambodian king Norodom Sihanouk, was one of Asia's longest-serving monarchs, but abruptly abdicated in 2004 in favour of his son, citing old age and health problems.

Please don't misinterpret and manipulate the information.
As head of state, the King will not able to leave the country. As we all knew so well, we Cambodian have a war with our aggressor and enemy Thai and the King has to be at home during this difficulty period.

Norodom Sihamoni is not a real King. Hun Xen is..!
CPP Communist Yuon members and Hun Sen blocked King Sihamoni from attending the British wedding of Prince William and new Princess Kate.
Democracy in Cambodia is a joke and it does not go anywhere under the Communist leader Hun Sen and CPP Yuon officials led by Communist Yuon evil bastards in Hanoi
