The little prince joined royals from around the world in visiting Japan this month for the Sokui no Rei (Ceremony of Accession), as Japan’s Emperor Naruhito formally ascended to the Chrysanthemum Throne. In the newly released photo, the Dragon Prince wears a set of kimono that were gifted to him by the Japanese Imperial Family during the trip.

Prince Jigme Namgyel may have gotten taller, but he still has the same cheeky smile and impressive locks from even his earliest photos.

The adorable snap was released on Nov. 1, which is Bhutan’s Coronation Day, and is also featured in the country’s November calendar.

Emperor Naruhito’s enthronement ceremony attracted the ultimate royal guest list. Britain’s Prince Charles, Spain’s King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia and Monaco’s Prince Albert were among the world leaders and dignitaries representing over 170 nations in attendance. The Dragon Prince’s parents, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema of Bhutan, also attended the festivities.

As William and Kate are near the ages of the Bhutan royals – who studied in England before taking the throne – their meeting offered the chance to forge new connections between the nations.

The Dragon Prince’s name was revealed a few months after his birth. As is custom in Bhutan, his name was not revealed until after a special Buddhist naming ceremony.
