Graduate prince

For a family photo they should have ditched the masks. They could be anybody, in this photo.

Yeah, surprised that media couldn't recognize that he is just a next door neighbour schoolboy.

Cute kid.

Being heir apparent - must put immense pressure on him.

True .Somehow strangely, it was/is the Empress Consort Michiko who quintessentially embodied the graciousness and elegance of royalty .

Why is mother one step behind?

"For a family photo they should have ditched the masks."

Should ditch them permanently. Hard to tell, true.

Those poses seem a bit cold, IMO, with the hands together with the parents. Yes, I also noticed the step back with the mom.

The photo depiction, illustrates how venerable the Imperial House of Japan could become.

The pandemic, has highlighted the need for change.

Cannot rap the male members in cotton wool for ever.

Man, JHS sucks - I suppose even if one is a prince. I hope he enjoys HS as much as I did.

Congratulations.
