On July 22, the former king of Nepal, Gyanendra Shah (shown at the center of all photos below), offered prayers in Kathmandu for the country's earthquake victims. Nepal's monarchy was officially abolished in 2008. It was the world's last Hindu monarchy.
These pictures are the true proof that some monarchs still truly care about the well-being of their fellow subjects and peoples, unlike republican politicians. I do greatly hope and will do that the Nepalese monarchy will be restored in the future, when the Nepalese people will realize the errors of their ways, and when time is right.
