Chogyal Wangchuk Tenzing Namgyal (b. April 1, 1953) is the second son of
Palden Thondup Namgyal, the last sovereign king of Sikkim. He is also
the present heir of the
Namgyal dynasty and claimant to the Sikkim throne.
He was crowned as Sikkim's 13th king after his elder brother crown prince Tenzing
Namgyal was killed in a road accident. However, now this position does not confer
any official authority and his responsibility includes only religious matters.
