I read off the link within the Instagram captions

"The integration marks a historic milestone in Bhutan’s progress toward digital sovereignty."​

Crypto is something I find confusing, I guess this person with the young prince is in charge of this new business venture for the kingdom. My mind went to the movie The Last Emperor and the prince's English tutor when I saw them walking side by side on those links.

I always love how much royal duties are a family event in Bhutan. There is not such a concept of 'senior royals'. The king's siblings but also their kids are at events. I also love how much we see the royal kids, and not simply in birthday photos, or a holiday event, like some European counterparts
