King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema welcomed their second child on 19 March 2020 – and now, almost four months later, they have finally revealed his name.
Sharing new images on their official Instagram account on Tuesday, the royal couple announced that their new son is named Jigme Ugyen Wangchuck. They also share another son, Gyalsey Jigme Namgyel, who was born in February 2016.

Earlier this month, Bhutan's palace released the first photos of the latest addition to its royal family to coincide with Queen Jetsun Pema's 30th birthday on 4 June. The photos, which were taken in the gardens at Lingkana Palace in Thimphu on 29 May, shows the king beaming at his baby son as he lies in his arms, while his wife and firstborn smile at the camera.

King Jigme Khesar married Jetsun Pema in October 2011, in Punakha Dzong, followed by a public celebration in Thimphu and Paro. He became king in December 2006, following his father Jigme Singye Wangchuck's abdication, and was officially crowned two years later. The royal couple met the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their royal tour of Bhutan in 2016, shortly after the birth of their first son.
