A Fairytale Gone Wrong: The Tragic Court Life of Empress Michiko of Japan
The every move of members of royal families from various countries around the world has always been closely watched, and the Japanese imperial family, recognized by the Guinness World Records as the "oldest existing royal family," is certainly no exception. From Emperor Naruhito's love at first sight for Empress Masako to Princess Mako, the eldest daughter of Prince Fumihito, marrying a commoner boyfriend, these have all been hot topics of public interest. The Japanese Imperial Family has already staged a Cinderella-meets-Prince story, featuring the abdicated Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko's tennis romance. Today, the 88-year-old Empress Michiko has gracefully transformed into a gentle and kind-hearted elderly lady, maintaining her elegance even as she has grown older. However, what might come as a surprise is that despite spending over 60 years together with Emperor Akihito, she has openly expressed her desire not to be buried alongside the Emperor in the future. Why is that? Today, I will take you through the life story of Empress Michiko of Japan.
