Question from a reader:
I’ve heard that Prince Akishino is the child of Michiko’s sister and her husband. Does he know about this? If he does, I’m worried that the constant mention of it by the public might make him feel bullied. What do you think?
A Curious Tale about Prince Akishino
While chatting with friends, an interesting topic about Prince
Akishino came up. There’s a rumor that he is the child of Michiko’s sister and her husband. I found myself wondering if he knows about it, which made me a bit concerned.
The Impact of Public Opinion
One friend commented, “I don’t know if he knows, but if he does, the continuous talk from the public might make him feel bullied.” I can certainly understand how, in such a position, one would be sensitive to the voices around them. However, some comments suggest that the royal family perceives any unfavorable remarks as bullying. When everyone positions themselves as a victim, it can overshadow the voices of those who are genuinely in distress. It left me with a rather poignant feeling.
Memorable Moments of Communication
Recently, I took my child to the park where I ended up chatting with other dads. We had a great time bonding over light topics while our kids played. I brought too many snacks, and the other dads laughed, saying, “We can’t eat all of this!” It was a fun moment. Yet, even in casual conversations, I sometimes find myself wondering, “Is this really okay?” While the reactions of those around me aren’t everything, I can’t help but feel concerned.
