The December 23, 2016 TV special on CP Naruhito is on dailymotion:
皇室スペシャル2016　新時代 2016年12月23日 161223 - Video Dailymotion

There are long commercials (3-4 minutes) scattered throughout the 58 minute program which included stories from 3 classmates, lots of old footage, and re-enactments. There was something about Naruhito's school bag; a friend helping his search for a wife. I wish there was an English translation.

A cute video of the family's dog Yuri.

Yuri used to be a rescued dog of a veterinary clinic, and joined the family in 2009.

The family adopted Yuri after the previous dog Mari passed away. Mari's name is in Hiragana character (まり), Yuri's name could be written in Hiragana as well (ゆり) but the family chose the Kanji version (由莉) because at that time Aiko was capable to write Kanji characters (Hiragana is simpler than Kanji).
