Princess Aiko begins work

Get back to work!

good luck!

And wearing a traditional "recruit suit" too.

They really have no idea about being a regular member of society.

its a pity many of royal family members dont ever get to express their true selves, finding their own calling and passion, choosing a career path that is more suitable to them, especially women...

Work? The royal family? This must be some kind of a joke. April's fool was yesterday!

When I first arrived in Japan for about 3 years volunteered at the Japanese Red Cross it is a wonderful organization they do a lot especially in the time of disasters. They have a disaster preparedness room stocked full of blankets, food and other necessities that they hand out to different parts of Japan.

They always need foreign volunteers for their international department who are bilingual in different languages for writing correspondence and more.

Wishing the young princess lots of happiness and enjoyment in her new career role.

What are her official duties?

They really have no idea about being a regular member of society.

And yet when they do try, people monitor their every move and pick on every tiny hint of privilege or error.

Good luck to her, I say. Better than sitting round in a palace surrounded by servants.

What are her official duties?

She just started so she probably doesn't have any official duties just yet. Her initial time with the Japanese Red Cross will most likely be spent in training and learning about a variety of aspects of the operation.

Nah she can just stay in their palace be a princess then go on parades waving and smile to us ordinary people. I'm pretty sure she's going to get a lot of special treatment at JRCS which is going to be unfair to the other employees .
