King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, Queen Jetsun Pema and their two children, attended the Lungtenzampa School's Golden Julbilee celebrations. Princess Sonam Dechan, Princess Dechen Yangzom, and Princess Eeuphelma Choden Wangchuck, who also went to Lungtenzampa school, attended the celebrations, together with former teachers and students who have been part of the school in the last 50 years.
Lungtenzampa school was established as Thimphu Nursery School in 1972 with Mrs Caroline Tshering as its first principal. King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema are both alumni of the school.
They all look wonderful. It’s great this Royal family still wear those beautiful traditional outfits. The boys look cute.
ReplyDeleteThey don’t always, though.
DeleteTraditional dress is still the most common clothing in Bhutan. For certain jobs, places, and ceremonies the traditional dress is mandated. Partly they want to keep their culture thriving, partly it’s an issue of respect, but for the greatest part, Bhutan is still a poor and remote country and most people don’t have a choice to buy more than their traditional basics. I find it very special indeed.
DeleteThey are a delightful family. Love the traditional colors and ensembles. The 3 strand pearl necklace, is beautiful, you can see the quality of the pearls, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are beautiful - as are the subjects of the photos.

Beautiful culture. I love how their younger son snuggles into mom.
ReplyDeleteQue les photos soient en couleurs ou en noir et blanc, elles nous montrent la beauté de la reine ; c'est avec impatience que j'attends l'arrivée du nouvel enfant peut-être une fille ?!

When talking about Gross National Happiness (GNH), Bhutan is often on the short list. Of course, the results depend on the way the survey has been structured. For the last 6 years, Norway has been elected as having the happiest people in the world.
Is Princess Euphelma Choden also pregnant?
