Awww, Princess Aiko is adorable!
I don't get this male succession only thing -- it must be relatively recent because Japan has had some very important Empresses.
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
IOGoodN: My mom and stepdad have offered to co-sign a loan when I buy a house in St. Louis.
Yay Anne! That's great news.
The work found me. Got an urgent call, must be done now, hurry hurry, so I guess that ends my play time for the day.
Later lovelies!

Great. Now earwormed with "Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl, Earl, Earl."
No one can stop. The Duke of Earl.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've always found Japanese culture to be endlessly fascinating.
Me, too. Apparently, life as Japanese royalty is VERY circumscribed, if not down right stifling.
I can't believe the day is nearly gone. We've been running around like maniacs running errands.

Here is a picture of Princess Aiko and her parents last August.
She has the standard Japanese girl's haircut.
I had it myself at that age.

If I only had a brain...
It's a classic. In the U.S. it used to be called a Dutch-boy.

What is even happening?
my understanding was that the King could be divored but he coulen't, for reasons that remain unclear to me, marry a divorced woman. Or a commoner, maybe. Or a divorced commoner?
He could be divorced but couldn't remarry. Diana died, solving that problem.
If he marries a divorced woman, it's technically adultery because "Christian marriage is indissoluble." So he's sleeping with another man's wife.
Isn't Camilla's ex-husband now dead, too? If so, why can't she be Queen consort. If not, never mind.
