She previously served as the queen consort from 1993 to 2004. She is the widow of King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, whom she married in 1952. Queen Monineath was of French and Vietnamese descent; she is sometimes referred to as "Queen Monique".

Her official, full title is "Preah Karuna Preah Bat Samdech Preah Mohaksatreyani Norodom Monineath Sihanouk" (Khmer: ព្រះករុណាព្រះបាទសម្តេចព្រះមហាក្សត្រិយានី នរោត្តម មុនិនាថ សីហនុ).
