MASAKO RESUMES OFFICIAL DUTIES OUTSIDE TOKYO
hellomagazine.com Troubled Japanese royal Crown Princess Masako is making her first official trip outside Tokyo. The 41-year-old was pictured smiling with her husband Naruhito and daughter Aiko as they left for a snowy break in the city of Nagano. The family will spend the first few days in the mountain resort skiing. But later this month the pretty royal, who withdrew from public life over a year ago, will be joining her husband at the Special Olympics Winter Games. Crown Prince Naruhito will be alone when he attends a ceremony to mark the opening of the games on February 26, but Masako will join him the following afternoon to take in a hockey match. "The game-watching was planned as attendance at the opening ceremony was expected to put a considerable burden on her," revealed one of Naruhito's aides. It will be the first time the princess has attended an official event outside Tokyo since November 2003. On that occasion she went along to another sporting event for disabled people, but a month later she suspended all royal duties. The Harvard graduate was said to be suffering from an "adjustment disorder" brought on by the demands of her role. Not the least of these, according to royal watchers, was the pressure to produce a male heir. Masako gave up a promising career as a diplomat when she married into the royal family. Her husband is said to have promised her freedom within the role, but she found herself in conflict with the tradition-bound Imperial Household and later slipped into depression. The 41-year-old seems to have been recovering in recent months, however, and in January she made an appearance on the balcony of the Imperial Palace.

I think that this is great news for Japan and Masako, who no doubt will benefit from the decline in stress this will bring about.

In this photo released by the Imperial Household Agency Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2005, Japan's Princess Aiko, the only child of Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako, practices calligraphy with a brush and ink at her residence Togu Palace in Tokyo early January 2005. Japan is preparing for a reigning empress for the first time in more than 200 years as the government drafts legal changes allowing female succession. 6 She played with the kite.

Wonderful news about the succession changes, finally it is about to happen after this long wait! The world can look forward to an HIH Empress Aiko one day! :)
Gorgeous winter pics of the family too - and it's great to see Masako back in her official role out and about - and she looked really well, shining and happy. I hope things work out for the couple, and the succession changes will surely be a relief to all.

Thank you merampo and Lyonnaise for the wonderful pictures. Aiko is such a beautiful child.
I'm glad that Japan will finally allow for female succession so that Aiko will become Empress after Naruhito.

Nuh uh, not just yet. Although I'm happy about the prospect of having Aiko become the heir to her father, the law is still not drafted nor approved so we can't break out the sake barrels just yet. They're still debating if they should allow the first born, regardless of sex to ascede or to have a male supercede a female in sucession. We'll have to wait and see...
Anyway, it's my 500th post! Yippee! Anyway, besides the point. While the legislatures are at it, I wonder if they'll change the current law in which natural born princesses have to give up their title when they get married...

Crown prince offers apology over last year's remarks TOKYO, Feb. 23, Kyodo - Crown Prince Naruhito has offered a public apology for remarks he made last year about there having been moves that ''denied'' his wife Princess Masako's career and personality, which caused a stir and apparently brought about tension in the imperial family. In a news conference held Monday prior to his 45th birthday Wednesday, the prince said, ''I made the remarks out of hope that people would be made aware of the situation Masako was in. Nonetheless, I feel sorry for causing trouble for both the emperor and the empress over the remarks.'' ''I have also caused concern among the people as well,'' the crown prince told reporters at the Imperial Palace. The apology is widely seen as trying to allay tension among the royal family and aides, and mark an end to the saga over his remarks that ignited media speculation of a family rift in connection with Princess Masako's health. About various views expressed on the issue, he said, ''Everyone has his own different thoughts and ideas, and in every family likewise there are differences in view between generations. But I believe understanding (about such differences) naturally deepens by way of continuing discussions.'' He also said that ahead of the news conference, his father advised him to ''frankly speak'' his own ideas. Last May, the crown prince dropped what many considered a bombshell during a press conference when talking about the health of Crown Princess Masako. ''It is true that there were developments that denied Masako's career as a diplomat as well as her personality,'' he said. He also said his wife, a former diplomat, ''has completely exhausted herself'' in trying to adapt to life in the imperial family since their marriage in June 1993. The crown princess, 41, has been diagnosed as suffering from an ''adjustment disorder'' due to stress arising from her status and busy schedule, the Imperial Household Agency said earlier. The crown prince said Monday she is now on the way to recovery and is making active efforts at building up her physical and psychological energy but still has ups and downs in physical shape, adding that her doctor believes it will still take time to recover. Regarding the crown prince's remarks, Emperor Akihito said, ''I was very surprised. I have since listened to the crown prince...but there are still some things that I have not fully understood yet,'' in a written message on the occasion of his birthday in December. Prince Akishino, the crown prince's younger brother, indirectly criticized the crown prince in November for making the remarks without consulting with the emperor, saying in a news conference for his birthday, ''I my |
