Bhutan's royal palace has released adorable new family photos of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema's sons, Gyalsey Jigme Namgyel, four, and seven-month-old Gyalsey Ugyen Wangchuck.
The portraits, taken at the Dechencholing Palace in Thimphu, show Queen Jetsun Pema sitting proudly with her children. Her youngest son is snuggled up on his mother's lap, while her eldest leans sweetly into his mother as she puts her arm around him.
In another snap, Gyalsey Jigme Namgyel proudly sits with his baby brother on his lap as they gaze out of a window in the palace. A third shot shows the tot smiling and looking inquisitively at the camera as he sits up on a brightly coloured chair.
