Brainchild behind ‘Bir Gorkhali’ says Nepal will soon restore monarchy

Looks like they equate a monarchy with hindu nationalism/a hindu nation; and putting their hopes on the king's 18-year old grandson (and clearly not his son nor the king himself) to be their future king. It would be consistent with the call in 2007 by the then prime minister to make way for Hridayendra (I guess a 5 year old couldn't do much wrong as a king in their minds).

I agree, even now it is more sensible to project their ideals a relatively blank slate. It is interesting too that their hopes for a restored monarchy apparently rely on the old male succession rather than the last-minute adoption of equal primogeniture before the monarchy was abolished.

So, they are back in Nepal? I thought they lived in Singapore... So, did they move back or is this just a visit to gain support for a more permanent return?

I do not know. But I think the King lives in Nepal.

[Heavs]

Is this their actual Facebook account or just a fan page? Because if it's real they're definitely drumming up support for a return to monarchy.

King Gyanendra and Queen Komal, in addition to their daughter Princess Prerana, have been admitted to hospital in Kathmandu for treatment of Covid-19.

Did their daughter travel with them to India that she also got Covid-19; or did she pick it up from her parents on their return? And what about the crown prince?

The family seems prone to diseases at an early age (with the crown prince apparently having suffered 3 heart attacks and his sister a stroke - their grandfather died of a heart attach aged 51; and their grandmother at the age of 24 (due to complications at child birth of her 6th(!) child)); so that would most likely put them in a high-risk category; just like their parents based on their age.

Former King Gyanendra and Queen Komal Shah as well as daughter Prerna have been admitted to hospital following their Corona virus infection. While former King Gyanendra and daughter Prerna's conditions are stable, Queen Komal Shah had to be moved to the Intensive Care Unit with breathing related complications:

That's always concerning. Hopefully she'll recover.

All the best to Queen Komal!
