AP: Elvis lives and he is new King of Bhutan

Elvis lives and he is King of Bhutan. American news agency The Associated Press could not get enough of Bhutan’s fifth Dragon King, Jigme Khesar Wangchuk, who was officially crowned this week in the Throne room of the royal compound in Thimpu.

"Bhutan on Thursday crowned a Western-educated bachelor with the good looks of a young Elvis Presley and an easy charm with his people, the first king to lead the country since its transformation to democracy", read caption after caption.

And indeed, King Jigme Khesar with is immaculate hair, could enter an Elvis-lookalike contest, although in other aspects the 28-year old monarch has nothing in common with the late American", the "undisputed King of Rock 'n' Roll". © GPD; Photos: © GPD AP
