信子さまの帰京さらに延期 寛仁さま近く検査のため
宮内庁の風岡典之次長は１５日の定例記者会見で、更年期障害のため２００４年７月から長野県で静養中の三笠宮寛仁親王妃信子さまが、帰京を予定していた５月中旬以降も滞在を続けられると発表した。

風岡次長は、信子さまの帰京の見通しについて「寛仁殿下の回復状況を見ながらのことで、確定的なことは言えない」と話している。

Every royal family has one or two members that always seem to put their foot in their mouth. I get the feeling that Prince Tomohito is it, in Japan.

Elderly men - from most countries - seem to have great difficulty accepting that women can be as competent as men!
Since I belive that Japan has in the past had reigning Empresses, and the men only ruling is relatively recent, I can't see why there is all this concern about 'breaking with tradition'>
