		Dipendra, 29, was a bachelor and disagreement with his parents over his marriage plans is believed to have triggered the Friday’s massacre at the Royal Narayan Hity Palace.
		The daily said Nepal’s constitution accorded the palace certain prerogative but there seemed to be a notion that certain issues concerning the palace were beyond the scope of the people’s right to know or of the powers of the Government to do anything about.

		The story neglects to mention that His Majesty King Dipendra ascended to the throne by shooting his father to death with a semiautomatic weapon and that he also shot and killed his mother, sister, brother, uncle, two aunts, and first cousin once removed before turning the gun on himself.
		In Nepal, he was a crown prince, then a king, possibly a God, and maybe a murderer.
		On the one hand, King Dipendra seemed to be a "person of color," and his nation is impoverished, but on the other hand, King Dipendra himself was protrayed as a filthy rich gun nut.
