It's a boy! Whatever.

Yeah, it's a boy. Whatever. It's such a shame those princesses are judged mainly, if not only, by their ability to give birth a boy. As far as Princess Kiko is concerned, she willingly joined the Royal family and accepted her role as a traditional good wife/mother. So it may be OK. But in the case of Princess Masako, she gave up her career as a diplomat to get married with the first prince (under a lot of pressure). I think she could have been Japan's foreign minister or a prominent Japanese diplomat. What a waste! Now all people want from her is a boy!!

Princess Masako had a little hope to change the Japanese Royal family. She wanted to be an active princess who travels around the world for goodwill diplomacy and charity, just like Princess Diana. Now she suffers from depression. The first prince promised to protect her from everything when he proposed to her. He should keep his words. He could transfer his title as the first prince to his brother and get out of the royal family. And he and Masako can be some kind of goodwill ambassadors or something. It would be really romantic.

Well, whatever. I really don't care. A TV morning show was talking about Princess Kiko's baby and TomCat baby Suri in the same category. That was good. Both of them are just another baby, after all.
