Crown Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck came into the world on February 5 last year and has quickly established himself as one of the most adorable tots on the world stage.
To celebrate the occasion, the palace has released a new image of the chubby-cheeked Prince, and the internet can't get enough.

What a family: The photo was taken at Lingkana Palace where he resides with his parents, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, 36, (left) and Queen Jetsun Pema, 25, (right)
The image shows Prince Jigme in a yellow striped outfit, gripping a yellow toy car in his little hand and smiling sweetly.
The photo was taken at Lingkana Palace where he resides with his parents, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, 36, and Queen Jetsun Pema, 25, who are known as the Dragon King and Dragon Queen.
The little Crown Prince celebrates his birthday the same month as his dad, who will be turning 37 on February 21.
The photo will serve as the cover for Bhutanese website Yellow's February edition of its desktop calendar.

Prince Jigme's stunningly beautiful mother Queen Jetsun previously shared images of the family back in December, when they celebrated Bhutan’s National Day.
The photos see the Prince, again in yellow, sitting in the laps of his parents while festivities go one around them.
Back in September, the palace released a first set of portraits of the Prince, showing him in traditional checked robes. The photos were also released as a part of a calendar with Yellow.
