Bhutan’s royal couple have shared photos of their newborn son, allowing the world to take its first close look at the baby prince.
The set of photographs were shared by King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema on their Facebook pages and also released by the royal media office in Thimphu late Saturday night.
The photographs - in which the prince is seen asleep, wrapped in a yellow blanket - were released to commemorate King Jigme Khesar’s 36th birthday yesterday.
“The pictures were taken on February 19, when his royal highness the prince had just turned two weeks old. The photograph of the baby prince was taken by his majesty himself,” a spokeswoman said.
The prince, who is the couple’s first child, was born on February 5. The Oxford-educated Bhutanese king married Jetsun Pema, a commoner, in a fairytale wedding ceremony in 2011, an event that grabbed global media attention.
