Princess Anne and Princess Kiyoko have different life paths.
1. Comparison between Princess Anne and Princess Kiyoko
As a member of the British royal family, Princess Anne has been in the limelight since she was a child. At the same time, Princess Kiyoko, who was born in the Japanese imperial family, faces a completely different life environment.
Born in an era of independence, Princess Anne has a cheerful and lively personality and dares to express her opinions, which seems quite rebellious to the outside world, but deep down she just wants to show herself. In contrast, Princess Kiyoko has been bound by family rules all her life and cannot move as much as Princess Anne.
Princess Kiyoko's usual mannerisms and dances are subject to strict etiquette, which is too harsh for a young woman. Her every move may affect the face and honor of the entire royal family, and this invisible pressure of responsibility is undoubtedly a kind of psychological torture for Princess Qingzi.

2. The life and character of Princess Anne
Princess Anne's hard-fought side is especially evident in her personal life. She chose a man with low seniority as her second husband, which is rare in the royal family, but she does not look at the unexpected world and insists on being with her beloved.
Princess Anne participated in various charity activities and cared for the disadvantaged in society, which is very much in line with her love of helping others. After the death of Elizabeth II, the aging Princess Anne and her brother Charles played an irreplaceable role behind the scenes in supporting the new monarch.
Her restrained and resolute character is exactly what the British royal family needs in the new era.
3. Princess Kiyoko's dowry and married life
Princess Kiyoko married into a commoner family, which is rare in the Japanese royal family. After marriage, she not only carried a huge dowry, but also took on the responsibility of being the head of the family, which is a great responsibility for a young woman. While learning Xi take care of the house, Princess Kiyoko also cultivates her interests according to her areas of expertise, such as gardening and cooking. However, despite her efforts, her in-laws are still not satisfied, and often accuse her of not being conscientious enough. This dealt a heavy blow to Princess Kiyoko's psyche. In the details of life, she had to work hard for her husband's family everywhere to barely keep this marriage.
4. Princess Anne's role changes after the Queen's death
After the death of Elizabeth II, the British royal family entered a period of transformation. The aging Princess Anne became an important assistant and advisor to her younger brother Charles, helping him succeed as the new monarch. She uses her extensive political experience to help Charles navigate difficult problems while also articulating the royal family's position in a fair and transparent manner. At this critical juncture, Princess Anne took a steady and serious attitude to the finale, which greatly alleviated the contradiction between the traditional authority of the royal family and modern society, and left a deep impression on the British people. She has proved again and again with practical actions that the title of queen is by no means a glamorous name. Princess Kiyoko has a deep relationship with her mother, Michiko
Michiko is frail and sickly in a difficult environment. Fortunately, Princess Kiyoko is always by her side, acting as a warm support. Mother and daughter travel together to find solace in nature. Princess Kiyoko is not only her mother's link to the outside world, but also an important help in her mental illness. As she grew older, Princess Kiyoko's passion for the study of flora and fauna grew, and she gave back to her mother's care and upbringing. The subtle bits and pieces of their lives can show the incomparably intimate relationship between mother and daughter. Even when Princess Kiyoko grows up, she does not forget to care for her kind mother at all stages of her life.
Princess Kiyoko's educational background and overseas travel experience
When Princess Kiyoko was young, she was taught at the Imperial Xi Academy, where she learned Xi etiquette and various humanities. After graduating, she chose to study abroad and went to the UK to study Xi for two years. Two years later, she traveled alone to more than a dozen countries in Europe and the United States to experience local cultures. This is unprecedented for a royal woman. During her time abroad, Princess Kiyoko studied Xi foreign language with her heart and participated in volunteer services to broaden her horizons. After being far away from her motherland, her concern for her hometown is in her heart. The insights accumulated during her overseas studies and Xi travels will contribute to her future life.
Princess Kiyoko's marriage to Keiki Kuroda
Princess Kiyoko and Keiki Kuroda met when they were students, and their warm relationship slowly grew over the years. In 2003, under the introduction of Prince Fumihito, the two officially began dating. In contrast to traditional royal marriages, Princess Kiyoko chose a commoner as her partner, which is quite rare in the Japanese royal family. In order to adjust to her new life, she learned many mundane skills Xi. At the wedding in November 2005, the parents officially attended the ceremony to express their support for their daughter. Princess Kiyoko lived a life no different from a common person after marriage, and gradually became a good rhyme with the support of her family.
Princess Kiyoko's work and social role
As the chief priest of Ise Jingu, Princess Kiyoko enjoys a high status in religious circles. This is even more precious for a woman.

She used her civilian status and religious credentials to preach a message of peace and love in society.

Princess Kiyoko's status and challenges in the family
In the royal family, Princess Kiyoko's situation is not as bright and frank as outsiders think. As the eldest princess, she was able to enjoy certain conveniences, but at the same time, she also had a lot of responsibilities and pressures. Although the Akihito royal family strongly supports the idea of equal rights, as an ancient royal family with deep Confucian roots, traditional ideas still influence every member.
As the only flesh and blood of Princess Michiko, Princess Kiyoko has borne her mother's hopes and expectations since she was a child. Michiko hopes that her daughter can grow up to be a smart, sensible, elegant and generous lady, which is already a heavy psychological burden for any girl. In the complex environment of the royal family, this pressure is even more unbearable.
At the same time, Qingzi, as the eldest granddaughter, also became one of the best marriage partners in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Liangzi. Despite the importance of simplicity between Akihito and Michiko, Ryoko wanted to mediate for the benefit of the family through the marriage of her daughter and daughter-in-law, and she exerted considerable psychological pressure on Kiyoko.
Kiyoko can't escape other expectations from her eldest sister's wife, Noriko, and her mother-in-law. The two hope that Kiyoko can get married and start a family sooner and breed the next generation for the family. This is unbearable for any woman. And as we get older, this pressure only increases.

Although her appearance is relatively ordinary and not outstanding, Kiyoko's image is fresh and natural, her temperament is restrained and open-minded, and she can always melt the surroundings with an amiable expression. She is good at using nuanced care and smiles to warm everyone present.
Kiyoko is not afraid of power, but he also does not come out easily. She is Xi to handling all affairs in a low-key manner, not pursuing glory and wealth, but being at ease. Even in the face of heavy pressure, he never changes, and deep down in his heart contains wisdom and perseverance that surpasses his peers.
Kiyoko spreads the idea of freedom and equality with practical actions. She advocated the idea of independent women, promoted the cause of religion and education, won high praise from all social strata and religious circles, and was praised as a contemporary model of virtuous and sensible.

The relationship with her husband Keiki Kuroda is as deep as ever. The two often share bits and pieces of life on the Internet, and their lives are full of happiness. The godson Fangcai has also grown up to be talented, and now that she is married, her daughter Xiaofang has become Qingzi's only favorite.
In religious affairs, Kiyoko dutifully fulfilled the duties of the highest priest of Ise Jingu and won the support of the people. At the same time, she has also participated in many charities and public welfare, using her influence to promote positive social energy.
