who is she and why does she got two names?

 

[moosey60]

Wow! Kiko looks a bit like CP Masako! (I'm sorry, is that her name?) :flower:

 

[moosey60]

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.

 

[moosey60]

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.

i wonder if princess kiko was ever stressful with the royal lifestyle which masako is feeling at the moment ?

 

[hania]

why does the crown prince's brother look so old compared to him-besides having white hair he just looks so old in his appearance!

Maybe, maybe not. One thing's for sure though is that she luckily doesn't have the burden of producing a male heir.

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.
