A Royal Massacre

On June 1st 2001 Crown Prince Dipendra took at least one AK47 to the King, Queen and eight other members of the immediate royal family who all died instantly. Which is more than can be said for Dipendra, who after turning the gun on himself, failed to make an immediate impact. He was crowned king whilst in a coma and died a further 2 days later. How awesome an image is the massacre? Imagine Little Prince Harry “borrowing” a sub-automatic and turning on Elizabeth, Daddy and Parkers Balls? Or Chelsea coming down for breakfast with ol´ Bill and Hilary with a Kalashnikov? Awesome! My money is on Harry.

Conspiracy theories abound. A common held view is that his parents disapproved of the woman he wanted to marry, and after a cocktail of cannabis, alcohol and opium he turned up to dinner with a gun. I´d be amazed if he could stand after all that lot. The official lines of enquiry claim it was “accidental”. Indian Secret Service and CIA plots claim others.

Once pretty much revered, the Nepalese Royal Family has become somewhat tainted, and the current king, and his eldest son are either disliked or hated. The current Crown Prince is currently living in Singapore probably to avoid court hearing for drink driving offences. He was the proud owner of the only Harley Davidson in Nepal.
