Jetsun Pema, 27, is the world’s youngest living queen.
She took the throne at the age of 21 in 2011, when she married King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan, now 37.
The couple — who have a 1-year-old son, Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck — have both studied in England, share a love of art, and were once dubbed the “Will and Kate of The Himalayas.”
Speaking about his wife, the king once told local reporters: “I have been waiting for quite some time to get married. But it doesn’t matter when you get married as long as it is to the right person. I am certain I am married to the right person.”
So who is the woman by his side?
Meet Jetsun Pema, the youngest queen on the planet.
