Such darling girls and I love their names the first time I heard them I thought 'how sweet'!

I think Mako looks really cute.

while Kako looks pretty.

Thank-you for those?

Princesses Kako and Mako are lovely girls. Mako seems similar to Kiko, while Kako looks more like Akishino, especially her eyebrows are like her dad's. I wonder what their names mean in Japanese. I only know that the part of their name -ko means 'child' in Japanese.

[Vanesa]

Yes! I never notice that, Lakshmi...One of the girls is the spitting image of her father, and the other the one of h mother...I wonder to whom Prince Hisahito is similar in physical features.

Mako inherited her parents' bad looking features while Kako inherited her parents' good features.

Mako means "trueful". Kako means "excellence".

Maybe these girls are just a little bit shy and don't like smiling for cameras.

Interestingly enough of Princess Kako apparently is a skater, and I hear she even won a junior competition a couple of years back.. Who knows if she may move up in that sport? Could be interesting if the emperor's granddaughter becomes a star figure skater. Although in Japan that would be really hard because they have the best ladies in the world.

Exactly. You said it! I'm a little shy myself, and when someone sees a pic from me, always believes I'm angry to someone or very sad...and it's just I don't like to be photographed very much. What if the two princesses are just shy, like me?
