Catching Up With: Bhutan

I think we can all agree that there are worse things than sharing Hump Day with an update from Bhutan.

A very happy birthday to the ever serene and gorgeous Dragon Queen. She turned 29 on June 4. Also – earring alert.

I found this information about the Royal Mobile Court fascinating! It sounds both grueling and involving, and really shows what a committed monarch Bhutan has in Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.

I don’t know what prompted this sweet tribute from the King, but I am all here for it.

“People might think that my queen should be highly educated, beautiful and the best of the best. Jetsun Pema is a kind-hearted girl who is very supportive and whom I can trust. I cannot say how she might appear to the people, but to me, she is the one.”
