  2. Je suis ravie de voir que le couple royal a été accompagné de ses enfants ; trop mignonne la princesse Sonam dans les bras de son papa ; il me tarde de la voir grandir !

  3. It seems they brought all three children along for this state visit. That's very lovely. Especially for Crown Prince Jigme Namgyel to be taught about duty in a - so it seems - rather playful manner. Adorable royal family. And the queen's colourful Bhutanese style dresses are a sight to behold anyway.

    The robes and dresses on all of the ladies are stunning - their colours and textures are so rich and beautiful. (V.M.)

    I also agree that it is a delight to see young children accompany their parents on state visits when the circumstances make it possible. William and Catherine used to travel internationally with George and Charlotte as well, and other royal families involve their young children in local events, such as the Monegasques and Luxembourgers. The Bhutanese royal children are very cute, and the fabrics and colours of all the women's clothing in all the photos are gorgeous.

    What kind of fabric are the Queen's solid color jackets made of, silk or satin? My comment on the Bhutanese use of color is over due; the items are beautiful! Bright colors well done, nothing overpowering. The Bangladeshi women are in lovely clothes also. Christine
