<h2> Maybe someday you&#8217;ll be on your own.</h2>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> It&#8217;s a valuable resource for understanding the relationship between our two countries.</span></p>
<p> Kako, 31, the second daughter of Prince Hisahito of Akishino, dressed in all-white, and Prince Hisahito, 19, the eldest son of Akishino, in a dark suit, told the man leading the tour what they thought of the tour.</p>
<p> On May 23, the two sisters viewed a special exhibition at the Kokugakuin University Museum (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) commemorating the 160th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Belgium. About 40 items are on display there, including a vase with chrysanthemums painted on it and a lacquered step box donated to Belgium by the Emperor Meiji.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The connection between the Japanese and Belgian imperial families has been very strong since the signing of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation in 1866: His Majesty King Philippe of Belgium visited Japan on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Treaty of Amity in 2016, and Kako, along with her sister Mako, attended the Imperial banquet. In June of this year, Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress visited Brussels, the capital of Belgium. They are scheduled to participate in an event hosted by the King and Queen.</span></p>
<p> This is the first time in about eight months that the two sisters have been on official business together since last September, when they watched the World Championships in Athletics held at the National Stadium. Yuji Odabe, a professor emeritus at Shizuoka University of Social Welfare, who is familiar with the Imperial Family, believes that &#8220;there will probably be more official duties with the elder sister and younger brother in the future.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Prince Eugene is second in the line of succession to the throne. Eventually, he will perform his official duties alone, but he just completed his coming-of-age ceremony last September. While he is attending the University of Tsukuba, his academic work will take precedence. Until Eugene becomes &#8220;independent,&#8221; there will be an increase in the number of public appearances that he will make together with Princess Kako. She is expected to receive guidance from her older sister, who has been busy with her official duties.</span></p>
<p> It seems that the Akishino family will benefit greatly from having the sister and brother perform official duties together. Mr. Odabe continues.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> On the occasion of the marriage of Mako and Kei Komuro, Kako and her mother, Princess Noriko Akishino (</span><span class="strongInContent"> 59</span><span class="strongInContent"> It is said that when Mako and Kei Komuro married, Kako and her mother, Princess Noriko Akishino (59), did not agree with each other. Even now, many people have the image that the Akishino family does not get along well with other members of the family. I think it is meaningful for Kako and Prince Eugene to work together as a pair in order to dispel this image. It will also be in line with the Imperial Household&#8217;s desire to have the whole family involved in official duties whenever possible.</span></p>
<p> The number of cases in which Kako and Eugene perform official duties together as sister and brother is likely to increase in the future.</p>

 Kako, the second daughter of the Akishino family, and Prince Hisahito of Akishino, the eldest son, have been performing official duties together. This was the first time since the World Championships in Athletics last September that the two of them performed official duties together. According to experts, there will be an increase in the number of "official duties performed by a sister-brother pair" in the future. The following is an explanation of the possible advantages.
