The Bhutanese Royal Courts: Welcome to HRH The Gyalsey Jigme Namgyel Wangchuk

We finally now know the name of the Bhutanese Crown Prince born on the February 5th and since then had the appointed title only of Gyalsey (the heir). The King of Bhutan Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk and his beautiful wife the Druk Gyaltsuen Queen Jetsun Pema had revealed in connection with a Buddhist ceremony held at the dzong (fortress-monastery) to Punakha on April 15th. This coincided with the 400th anniversary of the day of arrival in Bhutan Tibetan Buddhist master Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgya, informed by the Secretary for Information Bhutanese government.

Too cute with his thick black hair, the Royal Baby -that his parents had presented the previous day at Lhakhang monastery Changangkha in Thimphu- was obviously the hero of the ceremony. Passing of his father's arms to those of his mother, it was also worn by former King The Fourth Durk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuck, his grandfather who was seen brushing his hair with a small white brush.


Revealing that his son was given the name of Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck, the young king of Bhutan told the thousands gathered in Punakha dzong of that meant Jigme Namgyel fearless and victorious. He stressed that these two adjectives symbolize one hand the great courage that should be hers to overcome any future challenges when serve his country, second victory over all the obstacles it encounters.
“When the time comes for Gyalsey Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck to serve his country, he must always place the concerns of his country above all else and serve his people justly with great love and dedication. It will be his sacred responsibility to build a harmonious and just society, and thereby, fulfill all the aspirations of his people,”
After profound contemplation, he has been named Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck in the sacred Machen Lhakhang.
Jigme means fearless. It symbolizes great courage to overcome any challenge that he may confront in future as he serves our country.
Namgyel means victorious in all directions and victory over all obstacles. It is a name taken from the revered Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel, who enabled the Dharma to flourish in all directions as prophesied by Guru Rinpoche.
Wangchuck is the name of the royal lineage and dynasty.

#RoyalVisitBhutan The Bhutanese and British Royal Courts: From India to Bhutan

Late last night to early this morning Prince William Duke of Cambridge and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge left India to begin the next leg of their tour and their first to the Kingdom of Bhutan. They left through Guwahati airport to catch their Druk Airline flight to the Himalayan Countries.


She was seen leaving India in an elegant Tory Burch 'Chrissy' dress. It features one of our favorite patterns of the season: a graphic, Moroccan-inspired print of abstract fans and flourishes. Made of a soft crepe jersey fabric, which has a fluid drape, it’s detailed with a contrast placket, polished gold buttons, and a slim, fabric-covered belt that creates flattering waist definition. Office- and evening-appropriate, it exudes effortless chic.

On arrival at Bhutan soil at Paro Airport she was wearing a soft yellow gold coat dress from Emilia Wickstead. We last saw this bespoke in 2012 at the Thistle Ceremony. Today our lovely duchess wore it with a matching belt to the look, accessorized with new medallion style earrings the LK Bennett 'Fern' pumps and the LK Bennett 'Natalie' straw clutch. The couple wore welcome by the King's half sister Princess Chimi Yangzom Wangchuck and her husband Dasho Sangay Wangchuck before continuing the journey to reach Thiumph (Bhutan Capital)
