Legend has it that Sir Walter Raleigh, a poet, British explorer and captain of the Queen’s Guard, had spread his expensive cloak over a puddle for Queen Elizabeth I. The act has been often compared to the highest form of chivalry as it prevented the Queen’s feet from getting wet. Can such high regard be matched? Well, it seems the world has found it in the former prime minister of Bhutan, who carried his wife on his back so that she didn’t have to walk on muddy terrains!
Yes, you read it right. The photo of Tshering Tobgay carrying his wife piggyback is going viral on social media. Sharing the image online, Tobgay wrote, “Not as dashing as Sir Walter Raleigh, but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do to keep his lady’s feet clean.”

While there may be doubts regarding Raleigh’s story, it’s certainly one of the most quoted fables. Is the closest we have seen today on screens only, like in Bahubaali 2, where Devasena walked on the protagonist’s shoulder or when Chandler carried Monica in F.R.I.EN.D.S.?

Twitterati too was impressed with the act and couldn’t stop swooning. Some called it husband goals, while others were wowed by his humility.
