Nepal's King Gyanendra moves out of palace, home to royal family for 100 years
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English

Nepal's deposed king, Gyanendra, left the palace in Kathmandu on Wednesday night, a fortnight after parliament ended his 240-year-old dynasty, as political parties prepared to name the president and new prime minister. (article 6) Vowing to stay in his former realm, Nepal's deposed King Gyanendra moved out of the Narayanhiti Palace in Kathmandu this evening, two weeks after the country's Maoist-led assembly voted to abolish the world's last Hindu monarchy. (article 1) The man still revered by some as the incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu then swept out of the palace in a black limousine, driving behind an armed police pick-up, and past thousands of onlookers and hundreds of riot police. (article 1) Gyanendra of Nepal assumed the throne in dramatic circumstances in 2001 after his brother, King Birendra, was killed in a palace massacre. (article 5) Former King Gyanendra's departure closed the final chapter on the world's last Hindu monarchy, but a remnant stayed behind: the 94-year-old mistress of the deposed monarch's grandfather, who died more than a half-century ago. (article 3) Few Nepalis knew of the mysterious elderly woman's existence until authorities announced Wednesday that she would be allowed to continue living in the palace. (article 3)
