Princess Aiko vows to fulfill duties as adult in first news conference
18th March 2022
Princess Aiko, the only child of Emperor
Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan, held her first news
conference since coming of age last December. Princess Aiko’s
official ceremonies to mark her coming of age when she turned 20
were held in December last year, but the customary press
conference, usually held before the birthday, was postponed to
March to avoid disrupting her studies.
