Are there other websites about the Royal Family (esp. the Crown Prince and Crown Princess) aside from the website of the IHA?

If ever there are, pls do post it.

Crown prince, crown princess may visit Mexico for World Water Forum
TOKYO, Dec. 25 KYODO
Crown Prince Naruhito may visit Mexico together with Crown Princess Masako next March to attend the 4th World Water Forum, sources close to the matter said Saturday.
The government is sounding out the trip, which if materialized would mark the first overseas trip for the crown princess in four years.
The royal couple last went abroad in 2002, in a visit to New Zealand and Australia..............

Great news! Somewhere I read that CPMasako wanted to travel more and felt constrained by the Imperial Household -- this is great. I am just surprised they aren't going to a European Country since many of the CP's have visited them in Japan - especially last year with the World Expo there.

Thumbs up

I'm hoping this will signal to the "powers that be" that Masako's desire to have a more open, less constricted life is a positive development for the Japanese royal family, and that further trips, such as to Europe or even (dare I say it?) the United States, may be in planning for the future.I realize this Mexican trip may be more of a professional event for Naruhito given his interest in the subject of water, but even if it's technically more of a business trip I'm glad Masako will be along.:)

I hadn't thought of that -- that he would play the leading role because of his environmental intersests, giving her a chance to travel but not be in the spotlight as much. I hope this goes off as planned and is successful!

Royal ruckus sours family in a fishbowl
SHE is the luckiest and most cursed child in Japan — a royal heir, but destined by having been born a girl to be second-best. Although not yet in kindergarten, Princess Aiko personifies a dynastic crisis.
Aside from the constitutional heartache she is causing for Japan, her future ascent to the position of the 127th monarch has exposed a royal rift and caused a debate that will reverberate beyond the reign of her grandfather and her father.
Neither the intelligence and samurai heritage of her mother, Princess Masako, 42, nor the love of her father, Crown Prince Naruhito, 46 next month, can prepare Princess Aiko for what is ahead.
"Whatever position the future holds for her, my primary wish is for her to be soundly raised as an individual," Prince Naruhito said last year. "I would like to see her grow, loving others and being loved by others."..........................

From Kyodo news

According to a regular press conference held on Jan. 26 by Imperial Household Agency employee assigned to the household of the Crown Prince, Princess Aiko skated with her parents for the first time this week. They skated at a ice skating facility at Meiji Shrine's outer garden. At first Princess Aiko skated with her parents, then later she was instructed herself by a instructor. From now on, the three will probably have more opportunities to skate together.

In consderation of the people affected by the snow in Japan lately, the Crown Prince's family's winter vacation in Nagano will be cancelled.

with the news of Pss Kiko expecting her 3rd child, i can't help but feel sad for CP Masako. Although on one hand shld Pss Kiko have a boy, the pressure is off CP Masako but there will be other stigma that she'll hve to battle, such as not being able to fuilful her duty to produce a male heir, her depression, divorce rumours etc... I'm sure the IHA will not let up on her. But i'm sure her greatest source of comfort and strength will be her husband and daughter.
