Cambodius King Nordom, C. Hamoney, dropped some heavy news. Friday, he's been diagnosed with prostate cancer and heads to China for treatment. The 72-year-old constitutional monarch got the diagnosis during a routine medical check at a Beijing hospital. He and his mother, Queen Mother Nordom, Mononeta, traveled there at the end of February for their regular exams. C. Hamoney shared the update on his Facebook page, and Cambodius state news agency picked it up right away. His father, former King Nordom Sianook, faced the same illness as early as 1993. He got care in China too, and lived until 89, passing away in Beijing back in 2012. See how Monty stepped up to the throne in October 2004, just after his dad's abdication. His role stays mostly ceremonial with a low public profile. He's unmarried, no kids, and was known as the classical ballet dancer and Cambodius UNESCO. Ambassador before that. People watch closely as he starts this fight, staying tuned for how Cambodius royal family
navigates the road ahead. That wraps Canada News today, brought to you with AI.
