With Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle, the British royal family has captured the world's attention once again. And while Kate Middleton's husband will one day take the throne, it could be some time before Prince William is a monarch. Which is why you need to know more about the world's youngest queen, Her Majesty (Druk Gyaltsuen) Jetsun Pema Wangchuck.

The King waited to get married.
