Translated from French by Luc SârHistory not exactly funny

By N. Sihanouk
In a not too distant future, the Khmer monarchy has some “chances” of being “deposed,” one more time.
This afternoon, my beloved Son, H.M. Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia, told me: “Papa! Don’t worry about me! I will return to Paris to live in my modest ‘studio’.”
Regarding myself (and H.M. the Queen-Mother, my Wife is in agreement with me about our new life in exile), I will live in a country that will grant me (willingly) asylum, in a friendly manner, and without this country taking care of my expenses for room and board: I will rent (for me and my wife) a small room (with a bathroom) in a very modest hotel and our daily meals will also be very modest (bought in a modest grocery store).
Of course, I will not be involved in politics and I will not meet any journalist, or radio or TV reporters.
