Dazzling PRINCESS PRINCESS Kako in White Cordon: Future Shown by Her “Steps” Toward Prince and Princess Akishino

Official duties and thoughts

Wearing an elegant jacket and skirt, Princess Kako (31) admired roses, carnations, and other colorful flowers as she visited the 74th Kanto Tokai Flower Exhibition in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, with Prince and Princess Akishino on January 30. The exhibition was held in Toshima-ku, Tokyo.

This was the fourth time that Kako and her husband visited this exhibition. At the venue, she enthusiastically admired more than 1,500 flowers. The dress she wore that day is believed to be a “ROPE” set-up. The jacket is priced at 35,200 yen and the skirt at 25,300 yen, including tax.

In January alone, Kako had 14 official engagements. Behind this is said to be her intention to repair her relationship with Prince and Princess Akishino, with whom there has been talk of “irreconcilable differences. Yuji Odabe, a professor emeritus at Shizuoka University of Social Welfare, tells us, “Princess Kako is still in contact with her former husband, Prince Akishino.

Kako continues to live alone at the former temporary residence and remains separated from her family. The fact that the three of them attend official duties together shows that Kako has made a compromise with Prince and Princess Akishino.

Kako also has other motives for her actions.

She has been saying for some time that she wants to get married when she turns 30. In order to make her marriage go smoothly, Kako probably wants to maintain a good relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Akishino.

Her approach to Prince and Princess Akishino may be an indication that Kako’s marriage is not far off.
