Current Affairs

Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by her husband Prince Philip, had visited Kathmandu in Nepal in 1961 at the invitation of late King Mahendra.

The British royals were welcomed by King Mahendra, Queen Ratna - and residents of Kathmandu who had lined up on both sides of the road as horse-drawn-carriages proceeded further.

During the visit, the Nepali hosts had also organised a hunting trip for the British royals. 
Although the royals didn’t pull the trigger to kill wildlife, historians say, their royal guards did.
