most amazing news clip

Posted on 06:58 by mohit
(I posted this on transpacific sketch project but wanted it to be at home here, too.)

I found this clip a few weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since. One day I will write a poem about this crown and the mistress.

Nepal's Monarch Departs
Deposed King quits palace forever; but an elderly mistress stays

KATMANDU, NEPAL | Nepal's deposed king gave up his crown of peacock feathers, yak hair, and jewels Wednesday and left his palace forever [...] but a remnant stayed behind: the 94-year-old mistress of the deposed monarch's grandfather, who died more than a half-century ago.

Few Nepalis knew of the mysterious elderly woman's existence until authorities announced Wednesday that she would be allowed to continue living in the palace. The reason: the youngest mistress of King Tribhuwan, who ruled the Himilayan kingdom from 1911 until his death in 1955, has no house to move to or relatives to take her in.

and this, this is that amazing crown:



I want whole books and paintings and murals made about this story!
