Princess Lakshmi Rajya Lakshmi Devi (August 11, 1895 - September 4, 1954) was the eldest daughter of King Prithvi of Nepal. As the eldest daughter of King Prithvi, she was the crown princess and heir apparent to the throne of Nepal until her younger brother, Tribhuvan was born.[citation needed]
Princess Lakshmi was married to Field Marshal Kaiser Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana, a son of Prime Minister Chandra Shamsher Rana. The marriage took place at the Narayanhity Royal Palace.[citation needed] The Rana prime ministers, at that time, had most of the political leadership and dominance. They wanted to strengthen their rule and dominance, and wanted heirs of the Ranas to sit on the throne of Nepal; they arranged marriages between members of the Rana family and members of the royal family. King Prithvi had several daughters but no sons, and Chandra Shamsher then passed a new regulation on the law of succession, making it possible for a princess to accede to the throne. Princess Lakshmi thus became Crown Princess Lakshmi and was her father's heiress. However, Princess Lakshmi's younger brother Tribhuvan was born only five years before King Prithvi's death. As King Prithvi's male heir, Tribhuvan acceded to the throne after his father died in 1911.
Princess Lakshmi died in 1954.
