Follow me and watch the royal gossip!
On December 5, Princess Aiko of Japan, who had just turned 20 years old, held a ceremony of coming of age at the Tokyo Imperial Palace. The 20-year-old rite of passage is a tradition of the Japanese Imperial Family that marks the official coming of age of the members of the Imperial Family, and will later deal more with the affairs of the Imperial Family and support the work of the Emperor and the Empress.
Princess Aiko, the only daughter of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan, celebrated her 20th birthday on December 1 this year. However, Princess Aiko is still in college, so in order not to delay the class, the coming-of-age ceremony has been postponed to Sunday.
Princess Aiko's coming-of-age ceremony is divided into two parts. In the morning, Princess Aiko wears an embroidered white dress with an embroidered blazer with the same pattern. The overall shape is elegant and noble, revealing a sense of indisputable and independent from the world.
However, this set of shapes is the same as Princess Aiko's previous style, which is more old-fashioned. Especially the suit jacket, as if sealing the heart of a 20-year-old lively girl, turned her into a mature and stable person, looking a little old-fashioned.
But in any case, this is the princess's coming-of-age etiquette after all, and it is reasonable to dress more formally and dignifiedly.
Princess Aiko, who was photographed by a reporter, stood tall, and the glass window behind her reflected the green trees in the Japanese Imperial Palace. And Princess Aiko, like these trees, is in the best years of her life, verdant and lush!
Princess Aizi at the coming-of-age ceremony is still like a child, receiving everyone's blessings. During this time, she showed a shy smile, gentle and gentle.
In the afternoon, Princess Aiko took off her morning embroidered suit and attended the event wearing only an embroidered white dress. Princess Aiko revealed her arms, paired with long silk gloves, and attended the rite of passage with her parents, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako.
In the morning, when wearing a blazer, Princess Aiko looks more dignified and elegant. After taking off the coat in the afternoon, the overall look is more girlish. The skirt of the dress is loose and swollen, like a princess dress, which is very suitable for 20-year-old Aiko!
According to tradition, during the rite of passage, the princess will receive a new crown of her own. However, the crown worn by Princess Aiko that day was the old crown of her aunt Kiyoko.
Princess Kiyoko, the younger sister of Emperor Naruhito, married a commoner man in 2005 and has since lost her royal status and been reduced to a commoner.
This crown that originally belonged to Kiyoko looks extremely delicate and full of ingenuity. The platinum base outlines the shape of a flower, and the sparkling diamonds dotted around the base, which is extraordinary and ingenious.
The temperament of this crown is still quite in line with Princess Aiko, there is no sense of grand luxury, but a small family jasper, refreshing and lovely!
Both of Aiko's cousins custom-made their own crowns during the coming-of-age ceremony. Princess Mako, who just left the royal family some time ago and settled in the United States, her adult crown is quite atmospheric and exudes a sense of regular beauty.
Princess Mako's sister Princess Kako's crown is also unique, made by Japanese pearl brand Mikimoto and complemented by a matching diamond necklace.
According to the Japanese Imperial Family, at present, many people may not be able to see their families because of the epidemic, or they have suffered an unemployment crisis.
Therefore, Princess Aiko no longer re-customized her own crown, but "used the old things" and borrowed the crown of her aunt Kiyoko.
Whether it is the re-customization of the crown due to the epidemic without labor and material resources, or the postponement of the coming-of-age ceremony to Sunday because she does not want to delay the class, we can see that Princess Aiko is a fairly grounded princess who wants a low-key life. Do you like such a princess?
