Letizia looks so beautiful in that dress! Both the Princes and the Japanese royal family seem to be delighted to meet each other.

I saw the greeting on the news and it was very warm. I was sort of surprised since I always understood Japanese protocol to be very formal, but both the Empress and the Princess gave Princess Letizia kisses. The dress is even more beautiful on video--you can see the lovely pink color. She looked radiant--the Empress also looked very elegant.

It seems like Princess Letizia and Princess Sayako are having an interesting conversation.

I've noticed Princess Sayako taking on a greater role in welcoming foreign guests and royal duties alongside her parents lately. Is there a particular reason for her increased role -- is it because Crown Princess Masako is still not resuming duties?

And after her marriage this fall, will Princess Sayako continue to carry a title and what role will she and her husband have within the royal family's formal obligations?

From what I have read, Princess Sayako will lose her title to become only Mrs Kuroda and her children will be born commoners.
