The love of the Bhutanese people for their monarchy

The Kingdom of Bhutan or simply Bhutan, also known as the Dragon Kingdom, is a state located in the Himalayan mountains, north of the Hindu sub-continent, it is organized as an absolute monarchy and its capital is the city of Timbu.

Its current monarch, Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck, is the fifth in a dynasty established on December 17, 1907. His coronation took place in 2008, after his father’s abdication. People worshiped the previous king and therefore love their current monarch and this becomes evident when talking to the Bhutanese people, who profess admiration, fidelity and respect for him.

Happiness for the Bhutanese people is deeply rooted in the ideas of the monarchy and nothing seems to alter their complacency because they continually praise their king.

Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck was born in 1980 in Kathmandu, the capital of neighboring Nepal. Son of the then King Jigme Singye Wangchuck and the third of his four wives, the prince received an exquisite education that led him to study in the United States and the United Kingdom. He graduated in International Relations from the University of Oxford.

In 2006, following his public appearance on the occasion of the 60th anniversary on the throne of King Bhumibol of Thailand, the Thai press turned their attention to the handsome Bhutanese prince, who was dubbed Prince Charming. As if it were a pop star, legions of women immediately gathered photos, posters and all kinds of relics with his face.

Such passionate displays must have been embarrassing to Jigme Wangchuck, who is described as extraordinarily reserved.
