Japanese emperor's daughter says being an adult royal still 'rather tense,' marriage far off

TOKYO, Japan – Princess Aiko, the only child of Japanese Emperor Naruhito, said on Thursday that taking part in rituals as an adult member of the imperial family remained “rather tense” for her, and marriage is still far in the future.

Mako’s marriage to Kei Komuro, a commoner who works in a law office in New York, meant giving up her title and leaving the royal family according to imperial family rules – a situation that Aiko, who just turned 20 and became a full-fledged adult royal in December, will face if there is no change.Women cannot inherit the Japanese throne and royal life is circumscribed.

“For the first time I’ve taken part in a number of palace rituals, and I was rather tense. It seemed strange that I was being part of things that only my parents had done up to now.” “For me, marriage still seems far in the future and I haven’t really thought of it. I have no particular thought of my ideal partner, but being with somebody and we can make each other smile seems perfect.”Aiko, who wore a pastel yellow suit and pearl necklace, avoided comment about her cousin’s marriage.
