Nope, talk about a Royal Flush... Nepal's King, Queen Killed in Shooting at Royal Palace By Binaj Guruacharya Associated Press Writer Published: Jun 1, 2001 KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - Nepal's crown prince opened fire in the royal palace Friday, killing the king, queen, a prince and five others before shooting himself, a senior military official said. The official said Crown Prince Dipendra, 30, killed all the members of the royal family. The dead included his parents, King Birendra and Queen Aiswarya, and his younger brother, Prince Nirajan. According to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the shooting was caused by a dispute over the marriage of the prince because his mother, the queen, reportedly objected to his choice of bride. No other details were immediately available. The crown prince, educated at Britain's Eton College, was heir to the throne. King Birendra, the constitutional monarch, was stripped of power in 1990 and a parliamentary government was established. Hundreds of people lined the streets of Katmandu last Dec. 29 to greet King Birendra on his 55th birthday. Schools and government offices were closed as well. The Himalayan kingdom of Nepal is located in South Asia, to the north of India. ------------------ One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
