I haven't gone back over the entire thread to check if this has been mentioned, but does anyone know what prompted Prince Akishino to dye his hair black?

I haven't gone back over the entire thread to check if this has been mentioned, but does anyone know what prompted Prince Akishino to dye his hair black?

My instinct is to say that that Akishino wanted to appear more youthful. He started dying his hair in the middle of 2010 I think when he would have been about 45? I think I would have preferred him to have changed his hairstyle rather than the colour. Nonetheless, it looks very natural as his original colour would have been black anyway.

Wow, Prince Hisahito is growing fast! What a nice family.

 

[SElizabeth]

Yes he is quite a handsome little boy. I just feel so sorry for him for the life that is mapped out for him now and no chance for a normal life at all. The control that the IAH has on the family is very scary and depressing.

They look elegant!

Yet I always think Kiko gets overlooked while people fawn over Masako, who does only a small fraction of the work that Kiko does. Yet she is the one who gets the most praise.
