On Her Majesty’s Birthday(May You Be Blessed)

The Queen of Bhutan
We are lucky to be born in a country called "Shangri-La," and even luckier to be led by a king with a handsome and beautiful mind—His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. The King's marriage to Jetsun Pema is an adornment to the country. It is indeed a momentous union of true harmony, destined by time. The King and Queen married on 13 October 2011 at Punakha Dzong.

Queen Jetsun Pema was born in Thimphu on 4 June 1990. The Bhutanese people adore her simple and calm manner. She listens to the sufferings and problems of ordinary people and supports them. She is an ideal queen—a mother of Bhutan, an advisor, and a guide. With her great love and affection, she guides Bhutan toward modernity without sacrificing our great traditions. She thinks and acts on life as it is lived in a simple society. The Queen travels with His Majesty to many parts of Bhutan, mingling with her subjects, and this shows her grace and caring attitude toward our citizens. This love and care for every individual Bhutanese makes us feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

It was a great day when you were born. As we celebrate your birthday, we also celebrate the anniversary of your arrival in this world—and how you made it a better, happier place for us. The fourth of July is a great day to keep alive. Let the golden rays of the sun and moon reach you with wishes of success, happiness, and prosperity. Happy Birthday.

And thank you for having a birthday, and for giving us a reason to thank you. Thank you for being a wonderful person and an inspiration all along, all the time.

Their Majesties met the earthquake victims in Eastern Bhutan and Haa, the fire victims in Bumthang, and the windstorm victims in Trashigang and Pemagatshel—the problems of yesteryears. The people were given what they needed in life and brought back to normalcy. Thank you for these.

Long may our land be bright. Long may we celebrate in prosperity and jubilation, leading toward a common destination: Gross National Happiness. We stand strong and stable without any hesitation because we live under a King and Queen who are very friendly and helpful—the jewels of our country. Thank you for these.

The sincere, constructive, and assiduous King and Queen, with their good personalities, will play a role alongside an equally energetic elected Prime Minister. We hope to see Bhutan rise heroically and unimaginably as one of the best countries in the world.

These are the hopes of the people and the royal couple.

Thanking you.

May you be blessed.
