The Jewel in the Crown, a book of illustrations about the royal wedding, is one such example of how it has changed for the new generation of Bhutanese. A picture book, Jewel in the Crown is Bhutan’s own story of the King and Queen that beats any fairy-tale because it is based on real events. For Bhutanese, this book can be likened to the classics of the Brothers Grimm, but while fairy-tale-like in theme, it is even more special because it is a true story capturing moments from that historical event.
