Queen Jetsun Pema was conferred a Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology and Anthropology in recognition of her distinguished service in promoting social well-being, environmental conservation, public health and mental well-being, the inclusion of persons with disabilities, and grassroots economic development.
Quel superbe couple ; sur fond Bordeaux, la reine porte un rang délicat de perles de Tahiti !
ردحذفSo dignified and gorgeous
ردحذفAgree !!
حذفLove her hair and the pearls look so nice with these beautiful colours.
ردحذفRight. Her hair worn this style looks marvellous. As it does anyway.
حذفLove her outfit, the colors and fabric, beautiful. The pearl necklace, wow! I think they look to be black pearls, gorgeous strand of pearls.
ردحذفVery beautiful couple. Always feel sorry for PhD students when honorary degrees are handed out to dignitaries … it’s so much work to earn a PhD, it’s hard to accept that others can walk right up and gain one in a single ceremony!
ردحذفI never understood why it is done
حذفI agree
حذفWonderful couple!
ردحذفThe outfits are black, to possibly show respect, or seriousness in the academic environment and they still incorporate beautiful colors and designs! Love her skirt. Also, like the Thai academic robes. Christine
