Japanese Princess Mako, the oldest of Emperor Akihito's grandchildren, arrived for a nine-day official visit to Bhutan, during which she is expected to meet with King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema. |
Does the outfit come from Queen Elizabeths closet?
ReplyDeleteNon ,sinon elle aurait le chapeau...
DeleteTão beautiful young woman 😜
ReplyDeleteShe dresses way too old. Like a modest 50-year old matron. That's probably the way they are in Japan.
ReplyDeleteThere is absolutely nothing wrong with dressing conervatively. She looks lovely, not a hair out of place and the clothing fits well, versus looking too trendy or tight or short. Others could take a lesson from her.
DeletePoor Mako. How old is she? I bet, she would love to wear something more stylish than the etiqette of Japan demands. Strong traditions.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful silks and colours in Bhutan!
Beautiful display of colors
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity that Mako didn't wear a beautiful kimono.
ReplyDeleteShe is going to marry a "commoner" and will lose her royal status so I guess then she will be able to wear what she likes! Freedom!
ReplyDeleteWe Japanese wants to see Princess Mako wears a more lovely dress.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the malicious grandmother (the Empress) does not permit it.
All women of the Akishino Family always wear quiet clothes not to attract attention.
Makoto, there are wonderful traditions and characters in and about Japan, which I truly admire about your beautiful country. But I am sure for this one (royal etiquette/fashion): it will change in future for the better of the younger Royals. Don't you think so?
DeleteThank you for your reply.
DeleteI hope so too.
but....
Good to keep tradition in world of style

ReplyDeleteCome on people, she can't pick what she wears. Kiko arranges all of her daughters' clothes.
