[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also Ayako is 2 years older than Mako but Mako was engaged FIRST. However the Imperial agency allowed the Ayako wedding to go ahead in 2018 and didn't allow Mako's. So she's been waiting since her 2017 engagement.[/quote]

On top of making her wait 4 years past-engagement (and she's known the young man since 2011), and stripping her of the $1.3 million dowry, the household also is refusing a crucial and highly symbolic wedding ceremony - her last official farewell to the Emperor and Empress of Japan.

Considering she is moving abroad to the United States right after her wedding, its especially cruel. [/quote]

Jesus.  That sounds like the worst life, being part of the Japanese royal family.  Just completely controlled by the Imperial agency with no say in anything.  Worse than the BRF. Run away Mako!

Wasn't it widely believed that the Imperial Agency's treatment of both Michiko and Masako drove both of them to depression, Masako so much that she was out of the public eye for 10 years?[/quote]

Yes, it absolutely was. After Masako gave birth 'only' to a girl and kept trying to have more children but was struck by secondary infertility no matter what she did - she spiraled. Women can't inherit the throne in Japan, so a girl was worse than useless. The thing is - her husband stuck by her and tried to do things that made her happy - like talking with the public in less formal settings or going abroad on tours (she was a diplomat fluent in 6 languages before she married in) but the Imperial Agency refused all of his requests. They ordered her sequestered until she gave birth or else...and well - she never did.

Masako is/was so smart and brilliant and they broke her. A Harvard/Oxford graduate, linguist, diplomat, and one of only two women *out of 800 applicants* to pass the Japanese foreign exam in her class.[/quote]
Masako’s sister-in-law had to step up and bear a male child when she couldn’t.[/quote]

The Emperor’s brother was aware of the maneuvers to get his only niece crowned future Empress. Oh well. In other news, the IHA is doubling down on assholery.

[b]The couple will register their marriage on Oct. 26 and will have a news conference together, the Imperial Household Agency said. They are expected to start a new life together in New York later this year.

There will be no wedding banquet and other rituals for the couple “because their marriage is not celebrated by many people,” the agency said.[/b][/quote]

That’s one of the saddest things I have ever heard. I will think of them on 10/26 because they deserve celebration. All they have gone through![/quote]
