Hopefully, it will not be the last. I think his sisters could make excellent mentors for him, and it could help to educate him about the contributions of the other members of the imperial family as a balance against the intense focus on him.
 
:previous: I agree. Also, the Akishino couple are busier now and the daughters have already taken over some of their parents' duties. I'm also hoping Mako or Kako could some events with Aiko.

It'd also be wonderful to see the 4 cousins together at something or even with their Mikasa and Takamado cousins.
