		Paras, who is seen as being groomed to be the next king of Nepal, has made several public appearances since Feb 1 when his father King Gyanendra dismissed the government of prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and took over.

		The second of three children born to Paras and Crown Princess Himani, the little prince hit the headlines worldwide in 2002 when he was born.

		Analysts and journalists in Kathmandu say Prime Minister Surya Bahadur Thapa and his seven ministers make no decision or comment without Gyanendra's approval, and he regularly sends his son, crown prince Paras, on inspections to ministries.
