Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko Current Events Part 2: November 2006 - April 2017

[monica17]

Thank you very much for the pictures of little Prince Hisahito and family. He is sooo adorable; I'd say he takes after his mother in looks. Hope the family enjoy their short vacation.

I also hope to see more interaction between the cousins other than the annual new year photoshoot and video.

Cute kid....seems he had grown a bit....thats one impressive head of hair..... seems to me that he dosen't look too happy while held by his mother in front of such a big crowd....does anybody get that feeling?....Will the Crown Princely family be joining them and the Emperor & Empress?

 

[almab]

Prince Hisahito does look mighty serious. I wonder if there will be more photos similar to the ones of Aiko looking at the cows.

 

[Vanesa]

In general, little children doesn't like to be sourrounded by so many strangers. I think that Prince Hisahito is a lot like other little children. Yes...It looks kinda serious. Poor thing!

I don't think that I've ever seen the girls smiling in an "official" photo, casual or not. They always look so serious.

Princess Kiko is always a great working mother. I am very glad to see Prince Hisahito's healthy growth. I wish the family's prosperity.

Princess Kiko looks great. Her complexion is perfect. I wish she wore more cool, clear colours that would complement her complexion. I am just curious whether anyone is privy to beauty secrets of Princess Kiko?
