Empress Michiko was discharged from the hospital with a fracture, and she wanted to see her granddaughter Mako, and she felt sorry for her to send 10 million yen
The most feared thing for the elderly is to break a bone in a fall, and it is easy to have a series of problems in the future. Michiko, the empress of the Japan imperial family, will celebrate her 90th birthday on the 20th of this month. But at the beginning of the month, she accidentally fell in the Sento Imperial Palace where she lived, and although she was immediately sent to the hospital for observation, the examination results were fractures, so the elderly Michiko had to be hospitalized for surgery.
Empress Michiko was diagnosed with a fracture of her right leg, and the operation was successfully completed early the next morning. After 6 days of rest, Empress Michiko was discharged from the hospital in a royal car, but even if she was discharged home, Michiko would have to start a long rehabilitation training.
After returning home, Empress Michiko will first use a wheelchair and then slowly recover and walk.
It is actually very difficult for the 90-year-old to rehabilitate, but for Empress Michiko, she is very active in cooperating with the treatment. Of course, Michiko herself is a very strong person, but there is another very important reason, that is, she hopes to hold on until her eldest granddaughter, Princess Mako, returns to Japan, hoping to see her again.
"The youngest son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady", for Empress Michiko, Princess Mako should be the most beloved of her four grandchildren. Princess Mako was born in 1991 and is the first grandson of Empress Michiko and Emperor Akihito. Mako's arrival made Michiko feel the joy of being a grandmother for the first time. Princess Mako has been living with Queen Michiko in the Akasaka Imperial Palace until she was 2 years old, and it can also be said that in Mako's growth trajectory, Michiko is the one who really brought her up.
Ten days after Princess Mako was born, it happened that Barbara Bush, the then first lady of United States, came to visit, holding the newborn Princess Mako, and the grandmother Michiko who was standing on the side was so happy that her eyes narrowed, and the pride from the heart really couldn't be hidden.
In the annual family vacation photos of the Japan royal family, Princess Mako always obediently snuggles up to her grandmother Michiko, and the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren has also been cultivated since childhood.
According to Japan media reports, the day before Mako's marriage in 2021, she also went to the imperial palace to visit her grandmother, and the grandparents and grandchildren were reluctant to hug each other and say goodbye. This time, Michiko was discharged from the hospital and went home, in addition to actively participating in rehabilitation training, she was also afraid that time was running out in the future. And Princess Mako has not been in contact with her mother's family Akishinomiya after she got married, so Michiko hopes to be able to contact Princess Mako privately, hoping that her granddaughter can come back to meet and fulfill her remaining wishes.
Michiko's love for Princess Mako has really never changed. Mako and Kei Komuro's emotional marriage caused a sensation back then, and the public did not support the two getting married.
Earlier, the Japanese media broke the news that in order to get married as soon as possible, Mako gave up the more than 100 million princess marriage subsidy that should have belonged to her. After getting married, she and Kei Komuro lived in a small rented apartment in New York, and the financial constraints made her grandmother Michiko very distressed.
Empress Michiko is a real rich and beautiful daughter of a wealthy family, and when she married into the royal family, she directly gave a dowry of 30 million yen. She was not bad for money, and later inherited the inheritance of her parents, so she herself had quite a lot of private money and was not controlled by the Imperial Household Agency. For the sake of her eldest granddaughter, Princess Mako, Empress Michiko has been sending her 10 million yen every year since 2022 to help make up for her life.
Princess Mako has been in United States for 3 years and has not come back once. If Empress Michiko unfortunately broke a bone this time and missed her granddaughter after being discharged from the hospital, it would be a good reason to return home. Kei Komuro has obtained a lawyer's license in New York, the annual salary has increased a lot, and the life of the couple in United States has improved greatly, and now Princess Mako herself hopes to be able to prepare for pregnancy as soon as possible, so it is best to return to the familiar Japan and have a baby to be taken care of by relatives.
Princess Mako is the beloved heart and liver baby held by Empress Michiko in the palm of her hand, even if she is married, her grandmother can't rest assured, and she will receive 10 million yen a year, this next-generation relative can be regarded as a rare human fireworks in the Japan royal family!
