Thank you for the pictures, Mandyy. I cannot get the many photos of Aiko to load -- but she sure looks lively in the little shots you posted above! In fact, I can't tell whether Masako looks like she wishes Aiko would settle down just a bit or if she looks tired of the media, again. Overall, she does look much better these days, though. Any ideas how long Naruhito will be in Tonga?

Although i think CP Masako has been looking better of lately, these recent pictures shows a very sad and tired lady, like all the energy has been zap from her.... I sincerely hope that there's no added strain cos of the latest addition to the Imperial Family???

I think she looks a little worn out,too. I like her suit! In the first shot it looks like there are ruffles on the lapel of the suit. Very nice.

Vanesa · #**107** 09-19-2006, 03:11 AM

She is getting better and better every day! Princess Aiko, Princess Catharina -Amalia and Infanta Leonor are the most beatiful creatures in our little Royal world...Oh, wait! I'm forgetting Prince Sverre Magnus!

I wonder did CP Masako tied Aiko's hair. It seems that every time Aiko appear, she has different kind of hair pleat. So cute and nice.

Haven't checked in on this thread for awhile. Great photos. Masako looks to be growing out her hair again.

Actually, I think she was in bed! I believe somewhere in the article it said Naruhito arrived at the Tokyo airport at 10:30 PM. But the chemistry between these two sure looks good!

Egashira, former chairman of a chemical company behind a horrifying spate of mercury poisonings, died over the weekend at a hospital in the city of Fuji, Shizuoka prefecture, where he had been treated for an unspecified illness.

She might have such a hard time but She can face it and continue Her life as an Imperial Family.
She's so lucky to have CP Naruhito as Her husband and CP must be so in love Her

BTW, She didn't look as 42 years old. She looks younger.

Crown Prince Naruhito teams up with world No. 1 Federer
....Federer visited the crown prince's residence and paired off with Emperor Akihito's eldest son to play a doubles match for about two hours, agency officials said.
Courtside spectators included the crown prince's wife, Crown Princess Masako, and their 4-year-old daughter Princess Aiko. The imperial family members and Federer later had sandwiches and enjoyed a chat. "It will be a nice memory," an agency official quoted the crown prince as saying afterward, but the agency did not give the result of the match.....

A nice article to read showing the lighter side of Imperial Family life! I wonder who the opponents of Federer and the CP were? Does Masako play tennis?
