Queen of Cambodia is Eurasian

[taiping]

Did you know that the current Queen of Cambodia is Eurasian?
Norodom Monineath is currently the Queen of Cambodia and the mother of the current King of Cambodia, Norodom Sihamoni.
Monineath is of Khmer (Cambodian), Italian, Corsican and French descent.

She is married to the previous King of Cambodia, Norodom Sihanouk (who recently abdicated).
It's quite interesting that Eurasians can be part of Royalty.
I wonder if there are other Eurasians associated with monarchy
