  1. Charmantes toutes les trois vêtues en classique mais ça manque de couleurs ; vivement demain, peut-être que nous aurons l'occasion de voir Mako dans une robe ou tenue de mariée tout à fait à sa convenance sans avoir l'aval de qui-que soit !

  2. In the photos taken after visiting with her grandparents Mako looks happy--I feel pretty sure she is smiling under mask. In the visit with her mother and sister, Mako doesn't express the same happiness. However, I also understand she is visiting her sick grandfather in front of the press--so happy smiles would probably not be appropriate. Tomorrow is her big day so wishing the lovely princess and her groom a lifetime of happiness!

    1. Hey, Janet take it easy! A still picture which captures a nano second of mood swing shouldn't be used to judge her. Someone's smile in her audience of admirers could trigger a smile and vice versa

    And yesterday has become today.
    Her words to the media after they had registered their marriage.💓

  6. Incredibly heartbreaking. How can any society be that misogynistic? Beyond any understanding. Truly shameful.
