The Cambodian royal family has celebrated its first Bat Mitzvah with a party in the Raffles Hotel in Phnom Penh as the great-granddaughter of King Monivong reaches 13.

Elior Koroghli celebrated with members of the royal family, the lighting of a large menorah and a crowd of well-wishers.

After the bat mitzvah party, the family formally met the current King Norodom Sihamoni and the queen mother, Norodom Monineath.

The event was also the first time many of the royals had tasted food from a kosher kitchen, catered by Chabad of Cambodia.
