read about this earlier. he likes to dine with the commoners. sounds like a people's king to me.

on a sidenote, tv was introduced to Bhutan in 1999. when the auto was first introduced in the 1970s, people thought it was a fire-breathing dragon lol

I went to high school with him, I only talked to him a few times but he was a good guy, very down to earth and modest.

If I had realized then he was going to be king one day I would have kept in touch, lol.

Seriously? That's cool if true.

She's very pretty, naturally so too.

The Oxford-educated king is adored for pushing development and ushering in democratic reforms that established a constitutional monarchy and legislature in 2008. His teen-idol looks — slicked back hair, long sideburns — his penchant for evening bike rides through the streets and his reputation as a laid-back, accessible leader, also make him the rare monarch whose picture adorns the bedroom walls of teenage girls.

Sounds like a smart and down-to-earth kind of guy/king.
