Such a beautiful, informal picture of the couple. Must be the colourful flowers behind them and their great smiles!

Aiko's photograph which Masako took
This picture is so adorable! :heart: Thanks jun5 for sharing it!

And the broom in the picture following is more than double Aiko's size! :rolleyes:

Aiko is such a photogenic child! I have not seen one bad picture of her! (Wish I could be as photogenic as her!)
 
The Crown Princely couple take wonderful pictures. I wish I was that skilled. I'm lucky if I don't cut people's heads off or out of the picture completely :)

You are very welcome, jun5. I melted when I saw this picture of Aiko. She is so adorable in it, and she looks very grown up in this picture. Hard to believe that is only 2 years old. And her parents look proud as punch about her.

I know that this is often said about Phillippe of Belgium, but I think it can also be said of Naruhito, especially obvious to me in the birthday pictures, that Naruhito has softened a lot since the birth of Aiko. He seems like a warmer, more approachable and friendlier person since Aiko has been born. I don't think that pre-Aiko he was a cold person or anything, just a lot more distant than he is now since her birth.
 
Thanks for these articles, jun5.

How often do members of the Imperial royal family comment on politics? I know that Naruhito's wish (in the last article) is something that most people hope for, but it seems like he is going out on a limb by making such comments.
 
Yes, that is true, about Naruhito's comments about a second child being more news worthy in Japan. I hope that his comments about Masako's health being more important than having a second child or having a son will be taken to heart by the Japanese media so that Masako can truly recover without all these nagging stories about needing a son to succeed Naruhito.

Thanks for you insight, jun5, it is always appreciated.
 
Lovely photos jun5 :) Thank you very much for posting htem.

Where do the Crown Prince and Princess have a holiday home? Is it far from Tokyo?
