The Lan Xang Hom Khao Dynasty (Lao: ລາຊະວົງລ້ານຊ້າງຮົ່ມຂາວ) or Lao Royal Family was the ruling family of the Kingdom of Laos from 1904 to 1975 and the group of close relatives of the monarch of the Kingdom of Laos. King Sisavang Vong was the founder of the modern family, consisting of a number of persons in the Lao Royal Dynasty of the Khun Lo, who are related to the King of Laos, who are entitled to royal titles, and some of whom performed various official engagements on behalf of the Royal Family and ceremonial duties of State when the Kingdom existed. The Lao Royals are now based in France, where they work to achieve a change of government in Laos.[1]
In 1975, the Pathet Lao, led by another royal, Souphanouvong, overthrew the Royal Government and arrested many members of the Royal family. The King, The Queen, Crown Prince and the King's brothers were taken to a remote location to a re-education camp, where it is believed that they died [citation needed], although there has been no official confirmation either way. In 1980 Prince Soulivong Savang, became Head of the Royal House of Laos[citation needed] as Prince Sauryavong Savang was acting regent for his nephew, Vong Savang.
