Princess Aiko, who celebrated her 20th birthday on December 01, and attended coming-of-age ceremonies where she received "Grand Cordon of the Order of the Precious Crown" on December 05, visited her grandparents Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko today.
Princess Aiko returned to the Imperial Palace in the afternoon, and attended a reception attended by the heads of the three powers, including Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, where she received their congratulations. Her parents, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, were also present at the reception.
Princess Aiko also received a birthday congratulation from the Emperor's sister, Princess Sayako Kuroda, who lent her tiara for the event. The Princess also met with other members of the Imperial family and relatives.
By reaching the age of 20, Princess Aiko will perform official duties as an adult member of the Imperial family, and is expected to attend New Year's events such as "New Year celebration" and "Utakai Hajime" at the beginning of the year.
She look gorgeous. Love the hair &dress feminine &, classical. Happy birthday to Aiko. Mary
ReplyDeleteThe tiara and necklace are gorgeous, and Aiko wears them beautifully. I hope she enjoys her new role and the duties that entails, and I look forward to seeing her at official functions.
ReplyDeleteHer tiara frizure is one of the best updos I have ever seen. Really nice volume, structure, softness, and lines enhance her tiara. Neckline is great. Overall, a very very successful and elegant ensemble for a lovely Princess. Happy Birthday to her!

I feel sorry for the poor little girl, locked in a golden cage. I hope someday she will fly away.

She looks lovely. Such a change from her teenage years. Her borrowed tiara is one of the prettiest I've seen. She has my best wishes and I look forward to seeing her presence at more royal functions.
ReplyDeleteSadly though, I confess that she is yet one more Japanese royal, churned from the same IHA cookie cutter machine.
I'm also thrilled to see Empress Masako after a long time.

Elle s'est transformée en une ravissante jeune fille ; j'adore la finesse et la douceur de son diadème qu'elle porte sur un magnifique chignon pour lequel ses cheveux ont beaucoup poussé ; petit décolleté qui donne une petite touche d’'élégance à l'ensemble – Très bon anniversaire à elle !
ReplyDeleteThe empress looks exquisite in her woolwhite, more modern design dress (where some of the commentators asked for lately).
ReplyDeleteThe princess lovely,

It'not just wonderful dress that makes Aiko so regal and elegant, but also her poisture and attitude.
ReplyDeleteThe capped sleeves and the neckline gives the otherwise traditional dress a youthful vibe, which I found refreshing. Otherwise, it looks same old same thing
