I read the same info, and I see that HIH the Crown Prince is able to carry his official duties on. The Crown Prince does his job well.
Inspite your disapproval, Mariko, it is the Crown Prince who will be the next Emperor of Japan. Whatever you will write to express your personal view of the future of Japanese Imperial Family.
I believe this kind of allegations made by you are some kind of black PR against the CP family, aren't they? Please, no more, Mariko.

But isn't it true that conservative elements in Japanese society believe the Crown Prince should step aside?
And that this sentiment is growing?

(I know very little about these policies, and have nothing against the Crown Prince, but this is what I have read). Apparently others agree with Mariko.

Do you have any credible links, Mirabel? Who says 'this sentiment is growing'? I'd like to see some statistics.:flowers:

Thanks for the link, Mirabel.
Still, in my opinion, the article has no proof just the journalist's allegations.
An irreproachable answer has been given by Al_bina some time ago.
By the way, can we continue this discussion in the other thread, not in Current Events one?

Visit by Japanese crown prince has Germans studying etiquette - Monsters and Critics

Japan's crown prince Naruhito was officially welcomed to Germany Wednesday, after officials had carefully studied the correct etiquette for dealing with one of the imperial family.
Even German President Christian Wulff exerted himself, stepping up the stairs backward at the presidential palace, Schloss Bellevue, to avoid turning his back on the prince, after diplomats advised that this might be construed as a slight.
Journalists and photographers who covered the ceremonies were coached in the golden rules: do not ask the prince questions; do not photograph him from behind; do not overtake him or walk across his path.
German officials said the visit by Naruhito, to mark the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations, was a high honour considering that Japan is still recovering from its triple disaster in March: an earthquake, tsunami and radioactive releases.

"I offer my gratitude for the various kinds of assistance, including the dispatch of a rescue team, and condolences expressed by Germany," the crown prince was quoted by Japan's Imperial Household Agency as telling Wulff at the president's office.

I sincerely hope that, when Akihito is no more, there may be a loosening of protocol, to say the least.

Why should western democratic royals and others have to put up with "stepping up the stairs backward" ??

Even the BRF has got rid of that.
 
The world is multicultural, Renata4711, isn't it.
Obviously we should respect the Japanese traditions, since the Japanese people respect ours.
It was the personal choice of the President of Germany to follow the etiquette.:flowers:
I see no problem here.
