On November 26, local time, several members of the Japanese royal family appeared at Toshimaoka Cemetery in Tokyo to participate in the funeral of Princess Mikasa Yuriko.

Prince Akishino walked in the front, followed by his wife Concubine Noriko, followed by Princess Aiko, the only daughter of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, followed by Princess Kako and Prince Hisahito of the Akishino family.

It is reported that Princess Lily’s funeral was not completely Japanese-style. This can be seen from the clothes of the farewell people. The ladies in black long skirts were all covered with almost identical black veils. This custom should have originated from of the West.

Mikasa Palace Concubine Yuriko (original name: Takagi Yuriko) is the wife of Prince Takahito of the Japanese royal family. Prince Takahito was the younger brother of Emperor Showa and the uncle of the current Emperor Naruhito.

Princess Lily passed away on the 15th of this month at the age of 101. Although the palace did not announce the cause of death, according to Japanese media, she died of pneumonia .

Speaking of which, Mikasa Palace and his wife really lived a long life. Prince Takahito passed away in 2016 at the age of 100. However, none of their three sons lived long and all died before their mother.

According to his status, Prince Akishino, as the crown prince, was the most distinguished one among all those who attended the funeral that day.

It is reported that according to the practice of the Japanese royal family, the emperor and his wife did not attend the funeral or the wake ceremony the day before, but they did go to Concubine Yuriko's home in Akasaka to express condolences.

With the departure of Princess Lily, the number of members of the Japanese royal family has decreased again, with only 16 people left.

The three young people in the picture are the main next generation of the Japanese royal family. But if the 28-year-old Yoshiko and the 22-year-old Aiko get married one after another, they will no longer be able to appear as members of the royal family. Then only the 18-year-old Prince Hisahito will be left, who is suspected of not having enough brains. The male heir to Emmanuel.

Although she is the daughter of the emperor, she has been called by the public to "become a female emperor". However, with her uncle being appointed as the crown prince, Aiko's future fate has been decided and she will not be able to inherit the throne, but maybe she will feel relieved. Take a breath and have the opportunity to leave this relatively repressive big family.

Although she has gone through a period when she was not so good-looking, as she grows older, Aiko becomes more dignified and beautiful, and she looks more or less like her mother Masako.

Aiko is currently employed, working at the Japanese Red Cross Society, and is said to be working in a department related to volunteers. Regarding personal relationship issues, she has not been found to have a boyfriend so far. Judging from her personality and daily life trajectory, it may be difficult to get to know her favorite partner, so she has to rely on blind dates.

Kako, who was also covered in black veil, was once known as "Japan's most beautiful princess". Obviously this was due to her appearance compared to other royal women. However, in terms of skin color, she seems not as fair as Aiko and her younger brother Hisuhito. However, this seems to be considered that she prefers outdoor sports, while the two prefer to stay indoors.

Compared to Aiko, Kako’s marriage may need more discussion, but she doesn’t seem to have a boyfriend in the relationship. And given that her sister Mako has plunged the entire royal family into a whirlpool of public opinion due to marriage issues, Kako will definitely be cautious in choosing a spouse.
