— The Royal Watcher (@saadsalman719) November 8, 2020In the afternoon, Crown Prince Akishino (in the Order of the Chrysanthemum) and Crown Princess Kiko (wearing the Diamond Scroll Tiara and the Order of the Precious Crown) had their First Audience (Choken-no-Gi) with Emperor Naruhito (wearing the Sash and Star of the Order of the Paulownia Flowers and the Star and Collar of the Order of the Chrysanthemum) and Empress Masako (in the Meiji Scroll Tiara, Two Diamond Riveres, Diamond Earrings, Chrysanthemum Brooch, and the Order of the Precious Crown) at the Imperial Palace.
This is such a beautiful ceremony, especially the traditional portion with the gorgeous kimonos! Both the Empress and the Crown Princess looked fabulous in their jewels. I especially like the Empress’ Meiji Scroll tiara. I only wished they would have advanced the inheritance reform and declared that women can inherit. They’ll have to do that soon anyway since there is only one heir down the line. They are dangerously close of becoming extinct!
