The Nepalese royal massacre occurred on 1 June 2001, at a house in the grounds of theNarayanhity Royal Palace, the then residence of the Nepalese monarchy. It was reported that the heir to the throne, Prince Dipendra, killed nine members of his family and himself during a party or monthly reunion dinner of the royal family in the house. The dead included his parents, King Birendra of Nepal and Queen Aishwarya.
Prince Dipendra became de jure King of Nepal upon his father's death and died in hospital three days after the massacre without recovering from a coma.
Birendra's brother Gyanendra became king after the massacre and the death of King Dipendra.
