Line Of Succession To The Former Nepalese Throne
The line of succession to the Nepalese throne was determined by absolute primogeniture. This meant that the eldest child of the monarch, regardless of gender inherited the throne. In 2006 the Nepalese government proposed adopting absolute primogeniture. The House of Representatives subsequently approved the bill. As per the amended law, a Special Committee under the Prime Minister was to take decisions to the accession to the throne, which had to be passed by the parliament.
The line of succession immediately before the abolition of the monarchy was as follows:
- King Gyanendra of Nepal
- Paras, Crown Prince of Nepal (born 1971)
- Prince Hridayendra of Nepal (born 2002)
- Princess Purnika of Nepal (born 2000)
- Princess Kritika of Nepal (born 2003)
- Princess Prerana of Nepal (born 1978)

Famous quotes containing the words line of, line, succession and/or throne:
“There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. It’s another thing, though, to hold up that cloth for inspection.”
—John Gregory Brown (20th century)
“The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.””
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:30-33.
