A government investigation into one of the country's major nature conservation trusts has concluded the royals spent large amounts of funds on themselves, over a period of several years.
The committee claimed the family used money from the National Trust for Nature Conservation to pay for travels abroad, lavish parties, and health check-ups for Queen Komal in British clinics.
The report also said the royals were still using computers and cars that rightfully belonged to the trust.
Nepal is home to the world's highest mountains and to a rich diversity of flora and fauna.
Until last year, work to conserve them under the National Trust for Nature Conservation was chaired by Crown Prince Paras with his father, King Gyanendra, as patron.
The organisation is now controlled by the Communist Party of Nepal - made up of former Maoist rebels - who wrote the report.
The report on the trust's funds comes two weeks before elections to an assembly, which is expected to rubber-stamp the abolition of the 240-year-old monarchy.
The Maoist rebels supported widespread demonstrations against the king's autocratic rule in 2006 while eventually led to him withdrawing from politics.
