Queen consort and wife of the king of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, the beautiful Jetsun Pema is known in Asia as "the Kate Middleton of the Himalayas". Also of commoner origin, she married her husband the same year that Prince William married Kate and enjoys the same media pull as the Duchess of Cambridge on that side of the world.
This young couple has just announced that they are expecting their second child, although we still do not know if it will be a boy or a girl. Her firstborn, Prince Jigme Namgyel, is now 3 years old. He is known as the Dragon Prince.
As a curious fact, television did not arrive in this distant land of the Himalayas until almost 2000 and here polygamy is still widespread. Bhutan is also known as the happiest country in the world, as politics and the economy always have as its ultimate goal the happiness of its subjects.
The husband of this unique queen is called the Dragon King, and why Bhutan means Land of Dragons. A student at the prestigious Oxford University, another of his names is that of the Prince Charming of the Himalayas, due to his similarity, they say, to Elvis Presley. He ascended the throne on November 6, 2008 after his father, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, abdicated in his favor.
Although Queen Jetsun Pena is of commoner origin, her family had noble ancestors and had ties to monarchs, which is why she and the king had known each other since childhood, although they are ten years apart. Although he was always in love with his little friend, when the romance was born, the Dragon King publicly renounced polygamy for his great love for his fiancée.
She seems out of a story for her particular beauty and her exotic outfits. She studies International Relations in London and loves painting, fine arts and is a fan, like her husband, of basketball.
In the month of May 2011, with these romantic words, the Dragon King announced that he would marry Jetsun: “Many have their own idea of what a queen should be like, extraordinarily beautiful, intelligent, elegant… It is important to me that, as a person, be a good human being, and as a queen be ready to serve your people and your country. I found my queen and her name is Jetsun Pema”.
