The Imperial Japanese Women

 After suffering years of depression and being out of the spotlight forever, it looks like Princess Masako of Japan isn't doing so bad. She still looks beautiful, and little Princess Aiko Toshinomiya looks as cute as ever, and she's grown up so much!

A somberly dressed Masako and her husband, Naruhito.

Princess Masako. She is a very educated woman, and dated Naruthito for 8 years before she would marry him. It took her another 8 years or so to get pregnant and carry to term a child, Aiko. Because Japan decided not to change the Imperial constitution, little Princess Aiko will not be Empress one day. Instead, the Crown Prince has a nephew that will some day take the throne.
