The government is making preparations for Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako to conduct a state visit to Britain in late June, a source connected to the Imperial Household Agency said Sunday.
The imperial couple's visit to Britain is expected to last around a week. Arrangements are under way for welcoming events at Buckingham Palace, the London home of the British monarchy, as well as a state banquet hosted by King Charles III, the source said.
Preparations between the British and Japanese governments are proceeding with consideration for the king's health. Buckingham Palace said in February that Charles has been diagnosed with cancer and advised to postpone public-facing duties while he undergoes treatment.
Outside of official events, a visit to the University of Oxford is also under review, the source said. The imperial couple both studied at the institution, and Emperor Naruhito is the first Japanese emperor to have studied abroad.
The trip was initially planned for the second quarter of 2020 as the emperor's first overseas visit since his ascension to the throne in May 2019 but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The imperial couple did, however, visit Britain for their first official overseas trip in September 2022, when they attended the funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II.
Emperor Naruhito's attendance at the funeral marked a departure from convention, as emperors typically do not make appearances at funerals, whether at home or abroad.
The state visit to Britain will be the first overseas trip by the imperial couple since their June 2023 official goodwill visit to Indonesia.


no jewels (not even earrings) so ill just tag this on here but the Emperial couple do do this kind of thing like other countries royals
Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako visited the quake-devastated Noto Peninsula region March 22, praying for those who died and consoling evacuees.

a million to one chances of finding King John's treasure -but still a chance
The story dates back to 12 October, 1216, when King John and his entourage left King's Lynn heading for Lincoln. The king rode on ahead, leaving carts carrying his worldly wealth, including the crown jewels, silver plates, golden goblets and gold coins following behind.
But while the monarch made it across the Wash to the west of Lynn, the rest of his party were engulfed by the incoming tide and lost in the rushing waters. Searches for the missing treasure proved fruitless

this is her diamond Beatrice Eugine bracelet
I think the late Queen probably enjoyed Sarah's fun if not her taste in accessories
i think we just have to love Sarah for just being Sarah

Sarah wore that bracelet at Eugine's wedding and it looked fine that day

im waiting for other royal families Easter pictures to appear
im pretty sure the Spanish go to mass
1711925345314.png
King Felipe VI, Queen Letizia and Princess Leonor of Spain made their first public appearance of 2024 and attended the traditional Military Easter parade at the Royal Palace of Madrid. This was Princess Leonor, Princess of Asturias’ first attendance at the annual event that marks the Spanish Military and Royal year beginning. Infanta Sofia has already returned to Wales to continue her education hence she was not present

probably our usual bracelet tangle
but a lovely smile from my Queen


i vote in those terrible Express polls
i always vote the King as the best dressed member of the royal family, like his dad
1711929914815.png
 
so i have read Queen Mary wore the brooch in 1909 with an outting with Tsar Nicholas II at Cowes
1711930756774.png
but i cant find any pictures of both the Tsar and Queen Mary wearing a brooch that looks like that
but the King and Queen (well Prince and Princess of Wales in 1909) were a very handsome couple
