Masako, Crown Princess of Japan, is the wife of Crown Prince, Naruhito, the heir apparent to the Chrysanthemum Throne of Japan. As the daughter of a career diplomat, she spent her childhood mostly in Japan and USA. On graduating from Harvard-Radcliff College with an A.B. degree in Economics, she joined Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and began her career at the International Organizations Division of the department. By then, she had met the Crown Prince; but eager to pursue her career, she refused him twice before accepting his hand at the age of twenty-nine, hoping to pursue a new level of diplomacy as the Crown Princess of Japan. But after her marriage, she had to abide by the ancient royal traditions, which greatly curbed her freedom and this, along with the failure to bear a male heir to the throne, gave rise to adjustment disorder. After a decade long treatment and support from her husband, she recovered from her ailment by the middle of 2010s, resuming her official duties since then.
