Nepal's Former King Abandons Title After 17 Years

Nepal's Former King Abandons Title After 17 Years

Imagine a king who used to rule a country, but the people decided they didn't want a king anymore.

This happened in Nepal 17 years ago.

Even though the king wasn't ruling anymore, he kept calling himself 'His Majesty the King'.

Recently, after a lot of changes in the country, he said he would start calling himself 'former His Majesty the King'.

It seems like the king is now following the country's new rules.

Some people wondered if the king might come back, but he hasn't, at least not yet.
