“It will be his sacred responsibility to build a harmonious and just society, and thereby fulfil all the aspirations of his people.

“He must live such a life as a good human being and serve his country in a manner that will be exemplary and worthy of emulation.”

The newest addition to the royal family is set to be second-in-line to the Bhutan throne.

However if the child is girl she could be displaced by any future younger brother.

The British Royal Family had followed the same rules until 2013 before the Succession to the Crown Act was introduced.
