Queen Jetsun Pema (Dzongkha: རྗེ་བཙུན་པདྨ་; Wylie: rje btsun padma; born 4 June 1990) is the queen consort (Druk Gyaltsuen, literally meaning "Dragon Queen") of Bhutan, as the wife of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
Jetsun Pema was born in Thimphu on 4 June 1990. Her father, Dhondup Gyaltshen is the grandson of two Trashigang Dzongpon, Thinley Topgay and Ugyen Thsering (Governors of Trashigang). Her mother, Aum Sonam Chuki, comes from the family of Bumthang Pangtey (one of the oldest noble families of Bhutan). Sonam Chuki's father was a half-brother of two queens consorts of Bhutan, Phuntsho Choden (great-grandmother of the present king) and her sister Pema Dechen. This makes the King and Queen of Bhutan second half-cousins once removed.
Jetsun Pema is the second eldest of five children. Her four siblings include: two brothers, Thinlay Norbu and Jigme Namgyal and two sisters, Serchen Doma and Yeatso Lhamo (the eldest, who is the wife of the king's brother, Prince Jigme Dorji Wangchuck).
Jetsun Pema's early education took place in Thimphu at the Little Dragon School, the Sunshine School (1995–96) and finally the Changangkha Lower Secondary School (1997–98). She then received a convent education at St. Joseph's Convent in Kalimpong, West Bengal, India, from 1999–2000. She pursued her secondary education at the Lungtenzampa Middle Secondary School in Thimphu from 2001 to 2005 and moved to The Lawrence School, Sanawar, in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India, in April 2006. She joined Lawrence as a Class-XI student and chose to study English, history, geography, economics and painting. She completed her Higher Secondary education on 31 March 2008. She then began her tertiary education by enrolling at Regent's College in London, where she graduated international relations with psychology and art history as minor subjects.
