As the second son of Prince (later king) Mahendra, the infant Gyanendra was declared king for two months (1950–1951) when the rest of his family was in exile in India, but was not internationally recognized.

Gyanendra took control once again on February 1, 2005, accusing prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba's government of failing to make arrangements for parliamentary elections and of being unable to restore peace in the country, which currently suffers from widespread terrorism and insurgency from Maoists.
