More on the above royal visit between Lesotho and Bhutan with excerpts below. In the videos you can catch the Lesotho princess filming this amazing first visit in her cellphone.

King and Queen of Lesotho warmly welcomed to Bhutan
The Lesotho Royal Family were received with a static guard of honour at the airport.

The Lesotho Royal Family were greeted at the Paro Airport by Their Royal Highnesses Princess Chimi Yangzom Wangchuck, Princess Dechen Yangzom Wangchuck, and Princess Eeuphelma Choden Wangchuck, as well as ministers and senior government officials.

Prime Minister meets with King Letsie III of Lesotho
The leaders also discussed about the common challenges and opportunities faced by their countries, particularly in terms of their relatively small populations and economies. Both Bhutan and Lesotho rely heavily on agriculture, tourism, and hydropower as key sectors driving their development.


This one is about the visit and has a beautiful song dedicated to the king of Bhutan

And a bonus video praising the Queen of Bhutan's beauty, lifestyle and her social causes to improve life in her country. The thumbnail used is not where she lives in. Looks to me a made-up AI art picture. But is nice she gets a video to showcase her work.
