Yes, he did. Like his father, and his grandfather before him. According to the local beliefs the four Consort Queens are the 'guardian angels' of East, West, North and South of the kingdom. They protect crops and guarantee the prosperity of the country.
I wonder if HM the King dares to break the tradition nowadays.

The Thai girls are crying already. HM the King is "Prince Charming" in Thailand, because of his Elvis Presley's look-a-like

The King himself asked for "a simple and traditional ceremony". The kingdom is not rich country actually. The Bhutanese RF is on friendly terms with the Netherlands' royals. We shall wait and see, kathia_sophia

She is a commoner?
So he wasn't obliged to marry an aristocrat?
But her family must be wealthy, if they sent her to London to study.
She is Bhutanese, isn't she?
The wedding will be a silent ceremony, without the presence of royal families; it will take place in Punakha, former "Winter Capital" of the Kingdom of Bhutan.

She is a person of royal descent. She shares the same great-great-grandfather with her husband-to-be.
Her maternal grandfather was one of the most high respected priests in Bhutan.
Her full name is 'Ashi Jetsun Pema' with 'Ashi' means 'Princess' just like 'Lalla' in Morocco.
Yes, she is Bhutanese because the Constitution forbids the King to marry foreigners.

My Lord, she is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She seems to carry the same serenity as Grace Kelly. I look forward to seeing her as Queen.
