Wide of convoy STORYLINE Deposed King Gyanendra left Nepal's royal palace for good on Wednesday, marking an end to the world's last Hindu monarchy, a reign that had stretched 239 years. While Gyanendra's throne was formally abolished last month, the former king left the palace on Wednesday to begin a new life as something akin to an ordinary citizen, leaving the troubled country to pass another milestone in its new era as a young republic. "I have no intention or thoughts to leave the country," Gyanendra said in his first public statement in months. "I am going to stay in my motherland Nepal and contribute to establish peace," he added. Nepal's government plans to turn the palace into a museum and Gyanendra plans to move to one of his former summer palaces on a forested hill on the outskirts of Katmandu. There, he will be protected by police but will otherwise live as any other Nepali - albeit an incredibly wealthy one who some believe should still reign. His loyalists are few, however, and most of the hundreds who came to the palace gates for the final exit jeered him as he passed, chanting "Gaye, thief, leave the country." Nepal was declared a republic last month after elections that saw the country's former communist rebels win the most seats in a special assembly charged with rewriting the constitution. Before leaving on Wednesday, he handed over to government officials his crown of peacock feathers, yak hair and jewels, along with his royal sceptre. The government granted the royal court a small concession on Wednesday when it allowed two elderly women - the mistress of a former king, and Gyanendra's stepmother - permission to remain in the palace because they had no family and no place else to go. The Narayanhiti palace had been Gyanendra's home since becoming king in 2001 after a massacre in which a gunman, allegedly the crown prince, assassinated King Birendra and much of the royal family before killing himself. After his brother's death, Gyanendra assumed the throne. But the killings helped pierce the mystique surrounding a line of kings who had once been revered as reincarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu. No proof has ever surfaced that Gyanendra was involved in the massacre, but rumours have swirled for years that he was behind the slaughter. On Wednesday, he dismissed the accusations as a baseless campaign to defame the royal institution. In 2005, Gyanendra seized power from a civilian government, a move that made him deeply unpopular.
