The Royal baby-machine balks not talks
I was watching this on NHK's Morning Show and noticed that Princess Masako wasn't talking and the clock in the upper-right of the screen is removed whenever the royals are shown. Also I've just found out that there are NO unflattering pictures of Princess Masako {雅子 皇太子妃} on the Internet. I'm gonna have to fix that problem, sheesh.Baby pressure too much for royals

JAPANESE Crown Prince Naruhito has used his 44th birthday to ask for an end to the pressure on his wife to have a second child. The Imperial Household Agency said in December that Crown Princess Masako, a 40-year-old former elite diplomat, would cancel her official duties for a few months to rest up.
Besides the stress of being crown princess, "there has been a lot of pressure on her regarding the issue of our successor", Naruhito told a news conference held prior to his birthday today..
