Does anyone know can they keep their tiaras or do they have to
be returned now that they are no longer considered royal. ...

I can't believe the Imperial Household Agency would permit a
downgraded, mere mortal to remove anything from the palace. I
imagine she'll be lucky to get away with the clothes on her
back.

She's so pretty. They are very happy and good luck to them.
I hope the tiara is hers.

Emperor Akihito conferred the “Grand Cordon of the Order of the
Paulownia Flowers” to Malaysia's Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir
Mohamad (93)....YEAY!!!
It's the highest order given upon foreign statesmen for their
contribution towards the bilateral relations between their
respective countries and Japan, as well as their contribution to
the region.

Masako looks lovely as always, but the stiff and oddly posed
photos are off.

Japan's Princess Masako opens up on insecurities and health
Japan's Crown Princess Masako says she feels "insecure" about
becoming empress in April, but will do her best to serve the
people of Japan.
Masako Owada will become empress when her husband, Crown Prince
Naruhito, succeeds his father Emperor Akihito.
Emperor Akihito, 84, is abdicating next year because of his age
and health.
The princess, who has suffered from a stress-related disorder
for many years, says she is slowly recovering and will try to
perform more royal duties.
Princess Masako was educated at Harvard and Oxford, and had a
promising career as a diplomat before her marriage in 1993, the
BBC's Asia analyst Michael Bristow reports.
However, she has struggled to cope with royal life and Japan's
notoriously conservative imperial household, our correspondent
adds.
The princess made the comments in a statement marking her 55th
birthday.
"Giving thought to the days ahead, I sometimes feel insecure
about the extent to which I will be able to be of service to
people," she said. "But I will strive to do my best so that I
can contribute to their happiness."
She said that she was "filled with deep emotions" and felt
"nostalgic" that this was the last year before Emperor Akihito
abdicated.
Princess Masako's doctors say she suffers from "adjustment
disorder", a condition caused by stress, that is often linked to
depression or anxiety.
In Sunday's statement, she said that her health was improving
slowly, adding: "I am happy as I can now perform more official
duties than before, little by little."
Her doctors emphasised, in a separate statement, that it was
important that the princess be allowed to continue her treatment
and not be subjected to too much pressure.
The princess "is still on the recovery track and there are ups
and downs to her condition", they said.
'I will protect you for my entire life'
Crown Prince Naruhito reportedly met Masako Owada at a tea party
for a Spanish princess in 1986.
Ms Owada, who is fluent in several languages, had just passed
exams that qualified her to work as a top-ranked diplomat.
She was reportedly concerned about marrying into the royal
family, but agreed to marry Prince Naruhito in 1993.
She later told reporters that she had accepted his proposal
after he said: "You might have fears and worries about joining
the imperial household. But I will protect you for my entire
life."
The couple came under pressure to produce a male heir despite
having a daughter, Princess Aiko, in 2001.
In 2004, the prince told journalists his wife had "completely
exhausted herself" trying to adapt to palace life, and accused
palace officials of "moves to negate" her character and career.
The princess stayed largely out of the public eye for the next
decade, although she has attended more and more functions in
recent years.

It is good that she is open about her problems. That in itself
will make things easier on her.
