The cynic in me is thinking the IHA goes out of its way to show that Princess Aiko is so "weak" that any consideration of allowing females - and Aiko in particular - to possibly reign someday is unthinkable. Cynical me is thinking they nearly destroyed Masako because she only bore one daughter and now they must ensure that that daughter is a non-entity.
Still, an entire month's absence seems quite serious.
The IHA couldn't invent that; something must be wrong.
Back at school and in full health, Princess Aiko turns 15 : The Asahi Shimbun...she has become thinner. However, the weight loss is no cause for alarm, according to a chamberlain for Naruhito’s family.
“She has no problems for us to worry about,” the chamberlain said.
Aiko returned to junior high school after being absent from Sept. 26 to Nov. 7.
The princess had complained of stomach problems and dizziness after the end of the summer vacation, which was attributed to fatigue from studying for exams and practicing for a school athletic event.

The above post by unbelievableme contains photos of Princess Aiko shopping for St Valentine's Day in Ginza, Tokyo. The photos are informal.
I hope really one day she will be the Empress....I was so happy when she was born and she deserves the title...chances are slim but ...?
