Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Gyanendra of Nepal — Gyanendra was born at Narayanhiti Palace, not Hanuman Dhoka Palace

Jigme Dorji Wangchuck — He was not the 25th Paro Penlop; the Paro Penlop title is not numbered sequentially in that way, and he was the 46th Paro Penlop according to Bhutanese records.

Jigme Dorji Wangchuck — He did not have his first heart attack at age 20; this is an invented claim not supported by established biographical sources.
