King Moves Into Palace, Site of Royal Massacre
After a year of mourning, Nepal’s King Gyanendra has moved into the palace where his elder brother was assassinated in a royal family massacre in June 2001, officials said.
The king, Queen Komal and their daughter, Princess Prerana, moved into the Narayanhiti Palace, the traditional home of the Shah dynasty rulers. The home is guarded by more than 3,000 soldiers of the Royal Nepalese Army.
Previously, Gyanendra and his family lived in their mansion in the capital, Katmandu, where Crown Prince Paras will continue to live.
