While we obsess about Meghan Markle becoming royalty soon, today, we've come across something that will distract you from her! What's that, you ask? Well, today we've got you the world's youngest Queen and she is all things gorgeous and lovable! Her Majesty (Druk Gyaltsuen) Jetsun Pema Wangchuck of Bhutan is the youngest living Queen and she took to the throne at the age of 21. Now, 27 years of age, she is still the youngest living Queen.

Prior to getting married, the Queen studied international relations with psychology and art history at Regent's College in London. Upon the completion of her studies, Pema returned to Bhutan where it was announced she was to marry His Majesty (Druk Gyalpo) Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, known as the Dragon King. Of the Queen, the King said, "I have been waiting for quite some time to get married. But it doesn’t matter when you get married as long as it is to the right person. I am certain I am married to the right person." In February 2016, she gave birth to The Druk Gyalsey, Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck.

She works with a variety of charitable organizations, including Ability Bhutan Society, Bhutan Kidney Association and the Bhutan Red Cross Society.

Here, take in some more glimpses of her:
