History of Kingdom

Beloved King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, was officially crowned on 6 November 2008.

The Fifth King is an Oxford-educated bachelor, and the world’s youngest reigning monarch. Bhutan is also the world’s youngest democracy: beginning parliamentary elections in 2008.

King Wangchuck vows to maintain “Gross National Happiness” a measurement of national progress that places a high value on spiritual development.

Gross National Happiness is a term invented by Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who  opened up Bhutan to modernization. He used the phrase in 1972 signaling a commitment to build an economy that would serve and preserve the unique Bhutanese culture and Buddhist values.
