Princess Aiko has come of age! I love that the tiara work for her presentation was borrowed from her aunt, Sayako Kuroda

Royal Hats 
I just adore the bright yellow velvet cloche by Michaela Temperli with the slight touch of pink! Brilliant!
I agree with all that Princess Aiko looks lovely in her tiara! It is too pretty of a tiara to go to not be seen again!
Back on November 25, Princess Victoria wore a black silk double hair bow on the final day of the Spanish state visit https://www.instagram.com/p/CWv5lrfsGEL/
Gorgeous hats on Nobuko and Hisako! They always bring out some of the best headwear for the Japanese Imperial Family (a.k.a. they understand the assignment haha).
And I’m not one to usually comment on tiaras, but Princess Aiko looks absolutely lovely and the details are quite stunning on this delicate piece; it’s also great to see her borrow one from her Aunt Sayako. No rush of course, but I am curious as to what her first official hat will be!
Thanks HatQueen for continuing to highlight the Japanese Imperial hats! It’s always a delight to see what they wear, although sad there often aren’t great photos to show them off.
What a beautiful smile on Princess Aiko!
