Prince Dhirendra was often described as the "wayward" one among King Mahendra's sons. He was described as fun-loving, generous, and kind. When he was in school, he was greatly interested in theater. Prince Dhirendra was also greatly interested in sports. He had a black belt (2 Dan) in Judo from Kodokan Judo Institute, Japan. He was also a chief scout of Nepal and patron of the National Sports Council. In 1987, he was the chairman of the National Youth Services Foundation. In 1974, he represented the king at the coronation of Bhutanese King Jigme Singye Wangchuck.

Prince Dhirendra renounced his title of Prince and the style of His Royal Highness because of his relationship with a foreigner in December 1987. After that, he lived in England until he returned to Nepal in 1998.
