Prince Akishino (The Emperor Akihito's 2nd son, and TheCrown Prince Naruhito's younger brother) and his wife Princess Kiko. Kiko is holding their 2nd child Princess Kako.
No, no, great photos. Hmm..haha, they're like twins! They have the same hair...maybe Masako will have two girls too. Is Aiko close to Mako and Kako? It seems like they only meet for official photographs and on family trips.
Oh, well that's good. They look out for their cousin. How lovely, Kako obviously likes her then. Hmm...if Aiko turns out an only child, at least she'll have her older cousins.
Do you have pictures of her two daughters? I mean the latest pictures.

Isn't Kako on the RIGHT of Akishino? Kako's the wee one, Mako's the bigger one.

#1: Kuroda Yoshiki and Prince Akishino in 1984
#2-4: Prince Akishino and his future wife Kiko Kawashima when they were still studying in Tokyo Gakushuin University in 1985. You can also see Princess Sayako's fiancé Kuroda Yoshiki in the photos.
#5: Prince Akishino and Kuroda Yoshiki in a social gathering in Jan 2003.
Princess Kiko first met Prince Akishino at a bookstore in Gakushuin University when the Princess was studying Psychology and the Prince, Law. The Princess was introduced to the Prince by the owner of the bookstore. The Princess was also a member of the Prince's interest group.
The Prince proposed to the Princess at a pedestrian crossing in 1986.
Princess Kiko always smiles that Kiko-chan-smile was named after her.
Young, pretty, softly-spoken and with a warm smile, she quickly captured the love of Japanese people after her engagement with Prince Akishino was finally announced in Jan 1990 and they were finally married in June 1990.
Now Princess Kiko is almost 40 years old but she is still sooo pretty and sweet. I think the quality of her skin is almost flawless.
