Japanese princess Aiko is ‘loneliest in the world’, with only one chance to escape her fate | royalty

RoyaltyAs it stands, the Japanese princess Aiko (21), only child of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, will never succeed her father. And if she marries a commoner, she must leave the imperial court. Aiko faces an extremely lonely future, but she can be saved from it. The question is whether that will happen and who would want to do it. Moreover, Aiko’s own father threatens to put another stick in her wheels.
