Prior to abolition of the monarchy in 2008, the line of succession to the throne of Nepal was expected to be determined in future by absolute primogeniture. In 2006 the Nepalese government proposed elimination of the Salic restriction to the law of primogeniture, which allocated the throne to members of the reigning dynasty by seniority in descent to the exclusion of women.[1] The House of Representatives subsequently approved the bill. As per the amended law, a Special Committee under the Prime Minister would propose specific modifications for accession to the throne, which would have to be approved by the parliament.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

The line of succession immediately before the abolition of the monarchy was as follows:

  • King Gyanendra (born 1947)
    • (1). Crown Prince Paras (born 1971)
      • (2). Prince Hridayendra (born 2002)
      • (3). Princess Purnika (born 2000)
      • (4). Princess Kritika (born 2003)
    • (5). Princess Prerana (born 1978)
      • (6). Parthav Bahadur Singh (born 2004)

 

 

End of monarchy

By an overwhelming majority, on Friday, 28 December 2007, the makeshift Nepalese Parliament voted to abolish the monarchy in favor of a republic. The abolition was officially approved on 28 May 2008, by a vote among elected members of the Constituent Assembly.[8] The Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal is a party that supports the restoration of the Hindu kingdom in Nepal under the Shah dynasty.[9]

List of heirs since 1922

The Ottoman dynasty was expelled from Turkey in 1924 and most members took on the surname Osmanoğlu, meaning “son of Osman.”[19] The female members of the dynasty were allowed to return after 1951,[19] and the male members after 1973.[20] Below is a list of people who would have been heirs to the Ottoman throne following the abolition of the sultanate on 1 November 1922.[20] These people have not necessarily made any claim to the throne; for example, Ertuğrul Osman said “Democracy works well in Turkey.”[21]

  • Mehmed VI Vahideddin, last Ottoman Sultan (1918–1922) then 36th Head of the House of Osman in exile (1922–1926).[20]
  • Abdulmejid II, last Ottoman Caliph (1922–1924) then 37th Head of the House of Osman following Mehmed VI Vahideddin’s death (1926–1944).[20]
  • Ahmed IV Nihad, 38th Head of the House of Osman (1944–1954), grandson of Sultan Murad V.[20]
  • Osman IV Fuad, 39th Head of the House of Osman (1954–1973), half-brother of Ahmed IV Nihad.[20]
  • Mehmed Abdulaziz II, 40th Head of the House of Osman (1973–1977), grandson of Sultan Abdülaziz I.[20]
  • Ali I Vâsib, 41st Head of the House of Osman (1977–1983), son of Ahmed IV Nihad.[20]
  • Mehmed Orhan II, 42nd Head of the House of Osman (1983–1994), grandson of Sultan Abdul Hamid II.[22]
  • Ertuğrul II Osman V Osmanoğlu, 43rd Head of the House of Osman (1994–2009), grandson of Sultan Abdul Hamid II.[21]
  • Bayezid III Osman Osmanoğlu, 44th Head of the House of Osman (2009–2017), great-grandson of Sultan Abdulmejid I.[23]
  • Dündar I Ali II Osman VI Osmanoğlu, 45th Head of the House of Osman (2017–present), great-grandson of Sultan Abdul Hamid II.
