Regarding Aiko, the eldest daughter of Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, who will celebrate their 20th birthday on December 1, the Imperial Household Agency has decided to hold an adult event on December 5.
Aiko will be an adult royal family on December 1st, celebrating her 20th birthday.
According to the people concerned, since there are university classes on weekdays, the Imperial Household Agency has decided to hold an adult event for Aiko on Sunday, December 5, which does not hinder her studies.
On the morning of the day, Aiko visits the Three Palace Sanctuaries, which is dedicated to the ancestors of the imperial family, and is awarded a medal called the Order of the Precious Crown by Her Majesty the Emperor at the palace.
Then, in the afternoon, at the palace, they will be greeted by their Majesties in dresses wearing medals, etc., and then by the Emperor and his wife.
On the other hand, the celebration of the birthday on December 1st and the dinner party on the day of the adult event will be postponed due to the ongoing situation of the corona.
In addition, Aiko's first press conference for adulthood is being adjusted, including the beginning of the year.
It will be the first time in seven years that an adult event will be held in the imperial family since the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Akishino in 2014, Yoshiko.
Aiko is expected to attend the "New Year Celebration Ceremony" on New Year's Day next year as her first official duty as an adult royal family.
