Thanks for the picture. Prince Akishino is turning very grey. He is too young to have so much white hair. I wonder whether that is due to stress or genetics.

Plus the mustache, it puts him in a different age group than his wife. ;)
 
Here's my not nice comment for today: the front of his hair reminds me of a horses forelocks! I think he needs to get a trim.
