Honestly I'm not sure whether to make heads or tails on the possibility of any restoration in Nepal, I mean one hand you have large numbers of enthusiastic monarchists but on the other hand you have Maoists that do not want to budge even if a meteor destroys the entire nation. What are your opinions fellow royalists?

Let's face it, the republic is giving problems, they have been giving problems since day one, the problem is that there are so many complicated issues that the people don't know what to do.

You know one thing that surprises me? What surprises me is that Nepal doesn't really have it's own forum with it's own topics like Germany, Brazil, Austria and Italy and what not. I mean the abolishment of the monarchy wasn't that long ago like you said.

Nepal's monarchy was abolished only in 2008. It's still all very recent. So I think restoration is possible, especially if the Republic start to give problems.

It is true. The Nepal was the last country to abolish the monarchy. Yes, Nepal does not have your own forum with their own topics.

I spent the last few days in Kathmandu. It is one of the dirtiest and most chaotic cities I have ever been to, but it has great character and the people are very friendly. I did not make it to the Royal Palace, as it was closed yesterday for Maha Shivaratri, the Great Night of Shiva public holiday. I spotted a few statues of past kings, and there was a sketch of Queen Aishwarya in the window of a local art studio, but apart from that nothing. On the way to the airport this morning, I asked my taxi driver about King Gyanendra. He said that if it was up to the people of Nepal, the King would return tomorrow. But India does not want the monarchy restored, and the very corrupt government is in India's pocket, so nothing is going to happen any time soon.

Attached is a picture of the old Royal Palace of the Mala Kings of Lalitpur, Durbar Square, Patan. The dynasty was deposed in 1768 when Nepal was unified under the Shah dynasty. The Royal Palace is now a museum of Nepali Buddhism.

The monarchy was abolished almost 10 years ago. Are there hopes of a restoration this year? what are the prespectives? Are there any news about this?
 
Honestly thing don't look all that great for the monarchists in Nepal, the monarchists only have one seat out of 275 in the nation's parliament with most of the seats belonging to either communists and/or socialists who are pretty much staunchly republican.

Royalists did have 24 seats out of 601 in the Legislature Parliament but that was disbanded about three months ago.

So it is safe to assume that the monarchy's days in Nepal are pretty much at an end for the time being I'm afraid my friend.

P.S. Sorry for the bad news.

The school belongs to the same group as the school Elisabeth of Belgium goes to. There are 18. Queen Noor is the President. Wilem-Alexander, Haya, Philippos and Pavlos all attended branches. As did Princess Anita (royal by marriage). It would be interesting to see if a British royal ever attends, considering Philip and his family's link.

I would suppose that there is still much of support among right-wing and speciality conservatives. But any restoration is quiet unlikely when government is quiet stable and Gyanerda did all possible to discredit monarchy.
 
Is Prince Hridayendra the heir to Prince Himani?

Goooosh!
It's so lovely!
Giving the divorce notices among young royal generation, it's so refreshing to see such a cordiality among the older one!
 
How have they grown!

Princess Himani looks still young at 44.
 
Isn't the communist party in Nepal heavily back (controlled) by China? They won't let go easily.
 
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.
 
 
A very happy 70th Birthday to the Queen. I loved this video. Everyone being happy that is great.
