Prince Hisahito, who is 2nd in line to the Japanese imperial throne after his father, turns 14 tomorrow. The Imperial Household Agency has issued a few photos to celebrate the occasion. Hisahito is currently a pupil at the Ochanomizu University Junior High School.

Yes, I remember that there was reportedly a bit of a crisis before Hisahito was conceived. The Imperial House Agency officials were very worried apparently as the present Emperor and his wife had just the one daughter and Akishino and Kiko had only daughters. Heaven forbid that the Chrysanthemum Throne should be occupied by a female!

Then, as if by a miracle Kiko, who was no longer young, became pregnant and even more miraculously, had a son. The IHA officials must have been ecstatic. This poor boy had his life mapped out for him from the moment he took his first breaths. I hope he can cope with it and has a happy private life, because otherwise it will be unsupportable IMO.

On another forum, there is some stuff about Princess Mako and her fiance.. and their engagement.  And someone said that her boyfriend AND his mother get securtiy from the state which costs quite a lot.  Anyone know about this?  Why would someone who is just a fiance of a royal get state paid security?
