"The Prisoner of the Chrysanthemum Throne", Empress Masako's Life Story (Part 2) 

12:38 ❤ Poor beautiful and clever Empress Masako! So much talent being left behind and forced to marry, once the Crown Prince, now the Emperor Naruhito. Masako HAS one of the Greatest BACKGROUND, inteligence, Diplomat's daughter, studied at Harvard & Oxford, lived abroad, music skill, with 4 or 5 foreign languages, all together Never SEEEN SKILLS among any other Crown Princesses nor any QUEEN CONSORT that Reigned in this PLANET. Masako deserves some kind of Recognition.

The reason why Empress Masako did not appear publicly and suffered from adjustment disorder was because she was forced to give birth to a boy. Those around her wanted and expected it. However, since she was only able to give birth to a daughter, the Emperor and Empress told her that she should give birth to a son that night. People around him began to say that it would be a good idea for his second son's wife to give birth to a son. As punishment, the emperor did not introduce her to parties of international importance. The Empress had her reporter write that she was absent from official duties. Princess Masako was shocked because it was leaked that she had a miscarriage after an early pregnancy. Everyone around her couldn't believe it, and the Empress was always watching over her, but it was the Crown Prince who saved her. He said through the press that he would like them to stop denying Masako's character.

Masako could have become the First Female Prime Minister of Japan if she had refused to marry Naruhito, and instead followed her father’s footsteps in the diplomatic arena. What a waste of brilliant mind. Masako was too good for the Imperial Family; she deserved better.

雅子さまは男子を産まなければならないわけではなく、日本が変わらなければならない時代がきているのだと思います。 雅子様の笑顔を拝見する度にお元気な様子がうかがえるとこちらも癒されます。

雅子妃の境遇を適切にまとめて下さり、感謝申し上げます。 当時、雅子妃は、皇后美智子妃をお慕いし尊敬しておりました。しかし、実のところその皇后から妬ましく思われていたのです。自分の敬愛する方からの心ない仕打ちにどれだけ心を痛めたことでしょう… 恥ずかしいことですが、今では日本国民が周知のこととなった事実です。 あなた様の仰るように、愛子様には虚栄心などの争いに巻き込まれることなく、穏やかにお過ごしいただきたいと願っています。しかし、隠しておくには勿体ないほどに、愛子さまはプリンセスとして立派にお成りです。日本国の天皇家がまだ、神様に守られているとするならば、自ずと道が開けるでしょう。

Woww she is a diamond for the Japanese, such a beautiful girl, smart, pure They need to stop all those ridiculous traditions...

Everything you say about Michiko is wrong. WRONG! Michiko is a very evil woman. She drove Masako into depression over the past 30 years because of her jealousy. She is a cancer in the imperial family. Michiko even treated her own daughter dreadfully.

Is Michiko a kind mother-in-law? Michiko took the initiative in bullying princess Masako. It is not an overstatement to say It's Michiko fault.

I am Japanese. Thank you for writing an article about Empress Masako. However, there is a small mistake. It was the former Empress Michiko who locked up Empress Masako and made her ill. Michiko was jealous of Masako's beauty and intelligence. And she ordered her officials to abuse Masako. Moreover, Michiko abused Masako's daughter Aiko. Michiko is a woman as scary as a demon.

Imagine not allowing a legitimate heir succeed because it’s a female. That is lame.

This article has some mistakes. Michiko never supported Masako. She is jealous of Masako, so she prevents Masako from going abroad, makes the media write false articles, and takes away Aiko's money for her study abroad. It is said that this is the reason why Aiko got a job.

I always felt bad for Prince Hisahito. He’s literally a bandaid on a gushing wound. Just as people feel Masako was used, he’s being used too. Who’s to say he wants to be Emperor? What if he has all girls too? Or what if he falls in love with a non-Japanese woman? They won’t allow a foreigner to be his wife. Honestly, if they want the Japanese Imperial Line to continue, they need equal primogeniture. Male or female, blood is blood. England finally got with it a decade ago. The rest of the world needs to catch up.

I wonder who is the master and who is the servant. Seems like the imperial family is the servant to the imperial household agency. The emperor should sack the whole agency and reemploy staffs that listens, understand and follow instructions and not the other way around

Talented Queen ❤🎉

This imperial household agency definetely needs a modern reoorganisation. Some of its rules are completely nonsense. I don't understand why it isn't possible to change these rules. The Japanese people seem to support this idea and I think this is all what matters.

Hopefully now they are Emperor and Empress Masako can at last become herself and her husband might show love, support and his affection for her x

Hope now this dear Princess has become Queen her husband will make her happy. Must say the three of them seem smiling so hopefully they are at last happy.

Bellissima Imperatrice di una dolcezza infinita ❤

Z tym mówieniem krócej niż cesarz to może dotyczyło dawnych mniej inteligentnych cesarzowych dzisiaj MASAKO jest piękną wykształconą CESARZOWĄ❤❤❤

В Скандинавия приеха закон за наследяването на трона на първородното дете, независимо от пола му, в Испания също. Всичко друго е анахронизъм.

Quelle honte que ces traitements d un autre siècle !!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔

素晴らしい動画ありがとうございます。 感謝致します。 ありがとうございました😊

雅子様のお美しさは、気品漂う最高の女性ですね。

The Narrator says HOWEVER too many times????

Masako and her family were pressed to let her marry Naruhito. Don´t know if Kiko had to get pregnant for the sake of getting male heir. She was 40 to get the third child. Felt bad for Aiko. Heard that she was bullied by other royal family members about her look. She is practically the splitting image of her father! All rigid royal family rules suffocate her too much.

まさこさまにも、色々言わせれば良い！

☁️☁️🌷🌷 HATI YANG DILAPANGKAN ☁️☁️🌷🌷 DEMIKIAN APA ADANYA SALAM DAMAI PENUH KASIH SAYANG TERSENYUM BAHAGIA ☁️☁️🌷🌷

Tbh, I kinda regret Masako marrying into the Royal Family. What a waste! I saw a footage of her ducking reporters back in 80s, what an extremely attractive woman! Dressed elegantly, with natural charming expressions and a face so pretty. She wore her emotions on her face and was unable to fake nice which is honestly, her weakness and downfall in her future royal career.

Wickedness is all I can see

When you invest 13 minutes into a video series only to realize its propaganda trash...

Princess Diana wouldn't have lasted two days in that environment 😊

It's important not to use the Western lenses of individuality, rights, freedom when trying to decipher or evaluate Japanese proclivities. For them duty, communality, fidelity, deference, respect, loyalty etc are what gives life and obligation meaning.

❤🇯🇵❤ Eure kaiserliche Majestät, ich bin in Gedanken bei Ihnen 🌞😃👍 - der schwarze Drache 🐲❤🇯🇵 , Viele Grüße von 🐍🦊🐰🐅🐺🐻🦅

The pressure should be on her husband not on her.

The price one has to pay for marrying into the royal family so think twice or regret later!

She should’ve never married him sadly

การกลั่นแกล้ง ไม่ใช่นิสัยของคนที่เรียกตัวเองว่าผู้สูงศักดิ์ เราทุกคนควรใจดีกับผู้คน ถึงแม้ว่าเขาจะร้ายตอบกลับเราก็ตาม คงความทรหดแห่งการใจดีต่อไป

Hahaha moso ko instead masako

This Poor Girl was Literally "Blackmailed" Into This Horrific Family. Masako did Not want to Marry Naruhito and Turned Down Several of His Proposals. She Had Her Own Hopes and Dreams of Working as an International Diplomat. But Naruhito Wanted to Marry Masako and That was All That Mattered. He Wanted What He Wanted!! Her Family was Threatened with Total Ruin, Especially Her Father If Masako Didn't Comply to Naruhitos Wishes. She Gave Up Her Lifes Dream For Her Family and With a Broken Heart, Married Naruhito. They "Broke Her Mentally and Spiritually"!! She Has Never Been the Same Since Then. Her Heart Was Wounded and Has Never Healed. What a Horrid and Selfish Thing Naruhito Did to This Beautiful Women. I Hope Someday Masako Finds the Courage to Flee From This Prison. GOD BLESS YOU MASAKO!!!

Everyone is a prisoner of their own mind and island without Wings.

それは真実です。😂

雅子さまは、高校はベルモントハイスクールに入学。英語ができなかったので、「英語劣等生のクラス」に振り分けられた。然し、入学して卒業したのは事実です。1981年ハーバード大学に統合されたラドクリフカレッジ (女子大)アファマーティブ枠(大学が民族などに依る格差を是正、公平化するために設けた制度であり、人道的お情け枠)に入学した。当時小和田恆氏がHarvardの客員教授だったことによる。 アメリカは日本以上にコネ社会で、地位の高い人のコネとカネが物をいう社会。Radcliffeは1977年にHarvardと半合併状態となり、1999年に完全に吸収合併された。1985年、卒業証書(学位)にはHarvardとRadcliffeの両学長が署名したものを授与された。雅子さまの名前は両方の卒業名簿に記載されている。が、このとき父親の小和田恆氏が教授としてHarvardにいた。 オックスフォードは単位が取れず落第帰国した。Oxfordには小和田氏の存在は無く、９人中修士号が取得できなかったのは雅子さんだけ。修士号は１年間で取れるところ、雅子さんは２年間も居続けたが落第。国費1,500万円をドブに捨てた。 東大も小和田恆氏が名誉教授であった。正規入試によるものでは無く、帰国子女枠で東大に編入し、講義にはほぼ出ず１年で中退。外務省へは当時５枠あった「VIP指定枠」での入省。雅子さまの英語力は低レベル。雅子さまは外務省では接待要員。 皇室に入られてから、外国語が堪能でないことで、ご自分から外交を避けられていたそうです。

They are very very old fashion 😢

I,sta je tu normalno?

Her husband has not been helpful to her. Young girls fled Japan to avoid being courted by the Crown Prince. They were very smart.

La sua adorata bambina,non salirà mai al trono perché femmina....al suo posto andrà il cuginetto

She chose to serve her country. She is no less than any warrior; selfless, and takes duty seriously.

雅子様は、天皇のように立派だから、天皇が目立たない！

All Women when they married if in Asian if she the real Women who want accomplish Value be A Soul Mate to her Husband, To be a Mother to Her Childrens and To Be A Hero in Her Own Peoples , She must Sacrifice of all the Private life for her self That's the True Woman , Not Like the Tittle of this Video , what kind person are you? I bet you controlling your Husband 😂🎉

I think being married to the Crown Prince was just suffocating for Masako. Her husband, the Crown Prince, did not look after her. Also, the education she had at Harvard and Oxford, plus speaking five different languages and prior to her marriage, being a Diplomat. How many MEN that served in the Japanese Council had those qualifications verses Empress Masako? What a shame!! So glad their daughter Aiko went ahead with her marriage to Kei Komuro.

Sad but you need a real. Actress some one who can put on one good show. Pretend what they want to here and the hellwith the zprralbunch let her rip

It awems like princess kiko got all the benefits of being part of the royal family without all the BS.

I was surprised masako was willing to marry naruhito. I'm neither pretty rich smart nor successful like masako but i would never marry a man like naruhito whose too much baggage. I believe he is a good & kind person but kunaicho is hell. Everyone knows what happened with michiko why masako didn't learn? Not worth it.
