What year did Ranariddh renounce his interest in the throne?

  • 2001

  • 1998

  • 2004

  • 2006

Answer

In 2001, Ranariddh renounced his interest in the Cambodian throne. This decision was likely motivated by a combination of factors, including his desire to pursue a career in politics and his recognition that his half-brother, Sihamoni, was the more popular choice to succeed their father, King Norodom Sihanouk. Ranariddh's renunciation paved the way for Sihamoni to become king in 2004.
