Nepal's government has formally told the deposed monarch to vacate the royal palace within the next two weeks. The order was officially relayed to him on Friday - a national holiday.

Nepalese television stations have broadcast video of trucks being driven from the palace to Gyanendra's private home, filmed overnight.

Meanwhile, the government has denied rumours that the deposed king left the palace late on Thursday.

The government has set up a committee to audit palace property prior to nationalization.

Ministers say that Gyanendra will move house in co-ordination with the authorities. He has been sent a copy of the assembly resolution which almost unanimously abolished the crown, and a letter asking that he move out.

It is believed the former king and his wife will move to a private family residence in northern Kathmandu called Jeevan Kunj.
