The Royal Family of Bhutan is on a four-day trip to India. When the Royal Family called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, all eyes were on Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck.
The Prime Minister who is known for taking special interest in the gifts given to his guests or hosts, presented an official football of the FIFA U-17 World Cup and a chess set to the Prince of Bhutan.
The young Prince was particularly delighted by the chess set, it seems.

Earlier in the day, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema Wangchuck met External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and President Ram Nath Kovind.
Though there are reports that the visit was a more about the crucial discussion over the Doklam stand-ff, but the young Prince stole the thunder. From his arrival video at the Indira Gandhi Airport to the Rashtrapati Bhavan, media is keenly following this young Royal.
