Princess Kritika Rajya Laxmi Devi of Nepal (born 16 October 2003)[1] is the youngest daughter of Crown Prince Paras and Crown Princess Himani. She is a granddaughter of King Gyanendra.[2]

Like her sister, Purnika, Kritika was not originally in the line of succession to the Nepalese Throne; however, in July 2006 the Nepalese government proposed changing the succession law to absolute primogeniture.[3]

On 28 May 2008, the Nepalese monarchy was abolished and replaced with a secular federal republic.[4] In July 2008 Princess Kritika left Nepal with her mother, sister and brother to move to Singapore to join her father who had been making arrangements for the family to live in the country.[5][6]
