Princess Sayako is doing really good on her Royal duty.
But i have an opinion about her is that i do not know why but she looks really much like teenagers not really like an adult.I know it's silly idea but....

Arguments over Princess Sayako's cash gift

I wonder if there was a symbolic reason for the choice of the gray dress when she went to her grandparents' graves.

[Lady Jennifer]

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but I am not that familiar with the Japanese Royal Family.
I know Princess Sayako will leave the Imperial Household when she marries but would Princess Sayako get a inheritence whenever the Emperor passes on? Like from a will that he leaves behind? Can the Emperor help her out at all (financially) from his own pocket? I was just wondering.
