The deposed king of Nepal, Gyanendra, has moved out of the palace in the capital Kathmandu where his family lived for more than a century, writes BBC online, Wednesday.
He and his wife, the former queen Komal, swept out of the compound in the back of a black limousine as scores of riot police guarded the main gate.
Earlier, he said he had handed back his crown and royal sceptre and would work for the good of the new republic.
Last month, Nepal’s Maoist-led assembly voted to abolish the monarchy.
The palace in the centre of Kathmandu is to become a museum.
