Wonderful they are attending the wonderful ceremony. I am very much looking forward to it.

Wait a minute, how many Royal families showed up for him and his big day???? But he does not reciprocate because customs do not permit, well I wonder how many Royal dignitaries knew this before coming and would have they changed their minds coming knowing that the Emperor does not bestow his presence for their big days.

Why does the emperor not attend?

The Emperor and Empress would have been a better choice of guests.

You know very well that the Emperor doesn't attend the coronation / crowning ceremonies of other Monarchs and always sends a representative.

I wish I could have sneaked on the plane. I wonder at the splendor of experiencing an up close meeting of both families at such occasion.

That only says what he does and not why he does not attend. Other monarchs will attend.

Pedantic comment. It's well documented as you well know.

Why does the emperor not attend?
The Imperial Palace of Japan has a press office. I suggest you submit your question to them.

Emperor outranks king. He is the heavenly monarch after all (天皇). I wonder what they will do for the next generation emperor as he has no male sibling. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko invited to the Coronation of King Charles the 3rd of the United Kingdom of Great Britain? Yes. Would they refuse ? No. Could they refuse? No. Now I am discontinuing my comment? Why? Because, were I to continue, Japan Today will not print it.

Leave Japan Thursday; depart Britain Sunday. Pretty tough schedule!?

Long live KING Charles!
Thank you for setting such good example, managing adversity, taking long-view, despite all those out there trying to destroy the Monarchy.
Few institutions remain that seek betterment of the world, address global problems, trying to build bridges rather than drop bombs, etc. WHY?
Because everything's TRANSACTIONAL now, Monarchy thankfully can rise above such inherently flawed short-term greedy corrupt behavior it entails ON AVERAGE.
For example, many HERE, spend MOST of their time trying to INTERFERE in Others Free Speech, pure self-interest.

Why would an American Republican support a monarchy?
The monarchy is only of concern to Brits and others where the monarch is their head of state. Going forward many will change from that.
British support for the monarchy is falling.
How about the monarchy and slavery or the low wages the royal family pays their staff?

Great thing about MONARCHY is their long-standing global influence, leadership and role-model. Rise above the fray and their resilience and longevity impressive!
It's no longer just The Commonwealth in this day and age of modern media. They've also set a great example by not name calling and being partisan in nature. This independence is sorely needed across the globe.
MANY Globally from all walks support them, obviously no Monarchy's ever had 100% support. Long live Charles!

can you explain why a Republican would support a monarchy? No word from you on the royal family and slavery. Did you miss the trip by William and Kate to the Caribbean where their visit raised many protests about slavery? No word from you on the very low wages paid by the royal family.
In the end, it will be the Brits who will decide if the monarchy ends.
