1) Queen Sisovath Monivong Kossomak Nearireath ruled together with her husband King Norodom Suramarit from 3 Mar 1955 to his death on 3 Apr 1960 as virtual co-head of State. When her son, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, ruled as chief of State (20 Jun 1960 to 18 Mar 1970), as the throne was declared vacant, she served as ceremonial head of State and Symbol of the Crown.

(2) The Council of State, supreme executive organ of the People's Republic of Kampuchea and then of the State of Cambodia, transferred powers to the Supreme National Council on 23 Oct 1991 (see below for details). On 14 Jun 1993 the elected Constituent Assembly convened and the Council of State handed over the remaining state powers, ceasing to exist.

(3) Sihanouk chaired the SNC from 16 Jul 1991, but this office was not empowered as the unique legitimate body and source of authority and sovereignty up to 23 Oct 1991, date of signing of the Comprehensive Political Settlement of the Cambodia Conflict at the Paris peace Conference. On 20 Nov 1991 Sihanouk took over in Phnom Penh with the style "head of the State" and non-partisan condition. He continued as SNC chairman to his reinstatement as reigning King on 24 Sep 1993.
