Princess　Masako　makes rare public appearance

TOKYO:Japan's Crown Princess Masako,who has long kept out of the public eye due to stress,made a rare public appearance in Tokyo yesterday to attend an event celebrating the 50th aniversary of UNICEF's Japan office.
She came late to join her husband,Crown Prince Naruhito,for the UN event and gave no speech,an event official said.Naruhito said in a speech that he hoped for peace and stability in the world for the well-being of children.
Masako's public appearance was the first since early January when she waved from the Imperial Palace balcony to thousands of New Year well-wishers.
Royal-watchers believe the pressure to produce a male heir has caused the princess,a Harvard graduate who speaks four languages,to fall ill,in addition to clashes with the tradition-bound Imperial Household Agency.-AFP
