Princess Shova Shahi of Nepal (born January 13, 1949 in Kathmandu) is a former princess of Nepal. She is the youngest daughter of the late King Mahendra of Nepal. She is the only remaining daughter of King Mahendra; her sisters Princess Shanti and Princess Sharada were murdered in the Nepalese royal massacre. ==Life== Princess Shova is the fifth child and youngest daughter of King Mahendra and his first wife, Crown Princess Indra. She was educated at Loreto Convent, Darjeeling and Padma Kanya College, Kathmandu. Name Shobha means "Beautiful".〔(Baby girl names )〕 In 1970, she married ''Kumar'' Mohan Bahadur Shahi in Kathmandu.〔(Royal Ark )〕 On June 1, 2001, ten members of the Nepalese royal family were murdered, reportedly by the Crown Prince Dipendra. Dipendra first shot King Birendra. The wounded king wanted to pick up the weapon that the Crown Prince had left behind and shoot his own son, in an attempt to stop the massacre, but the king was stopped by Princess Shova. Shova must have thought that this was the only weapon in the Crown Prince's possession. She pulled out the magazine. However, the Crown Prince had several other weapons in his possession.〔(Himalaya )〕 The massacre resulted in the deaths of ten royals (including the Crown Prince, who committed suicide). Princess Shova Shahi herself was wounded but survived. In 2008, the monarchy in Nepal was abolished. Today, Shova and brother, the former king Gyanendra, are the only remaining children of King Mahendra. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Princess Shova Shahi of Nepal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
