IIRC, the King has not been king long; wasn't there some kind of story out of Nepal where the previous king shot his wife and then killed himself, or some such thing, and the present king is his brother?
Something like that.
The "official" version is that in mid-2001,the late King Birendra & the royal family were shot dead by their son & crown prince,over some disagreement on his choice of potential marriage partner.The crown prince then turned the uzi on himself.But quiet a few Nepalese people who live in the Gulf have told that the current king Gyanendra probably had some sort of definite hand in the massacre.There had been reports of differences between the brothers on matters like democracy ,ties with India etc.
