The Palace has also announced Charles and his wife Queen Camilla will host a state visit by the Japanese Emperor Naruhito and his wife Empress Masako in late June.

The ancient Japanese monarchy made a cautious appearance on the site, mainly using professional photos that are already in the public domain, with the first photo capturing Emperor Naruhito, Empress Masako, and Princess Aiko's New Year's Eve portraits (left). Princess Aiko died last month, to be precise.

On New Year's Day, the Japanese royal (left) expressed his grief for those who lost their lives in the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that killed 241 people and left more than 12,000 people dead in their homes. 'I would like to convey my sincere condolences to those who lost their lives in the Noto Peninsula earthquake last month and those affected by the tragedy,' he said. "I wish every one of you a peaceful spring.' Top right: Corona Prince Akishino, Crown Prince Akishino, Crown Princess Kiko, and Princess Kako are among those who have been photographed top right.

On Wednesday, Crown Prince Akishino, 57,'s wife, had an endoscopy at a Tokyo hospital, but no abnormalities were found, according to reports. According to The Mainichi, Kiko has been suffering from an unknown disease since last year. The royal has been plagued by severe digestive problems that have left her unable to eat traditional meals.

According to The Mainichi, the Imperial Household Agency reported that the royal mother-of-two (pictured left) has been sick since last year. Since the Princess tested negative for the virus and influenza, doctors have ruled out Covid-19 as the cause of Kiko's illness. Given that Kiko's illness is still unclear, medical professionals are currently doing experiments to find a comprehensive answer.

Crown Prince Akishino 58 and his partner, Crown Princess Kiko, 57, posed alongside their children, Princess Kako, 29, and Prince Hisahito 17.

Monarchs from around the world will attend King Charles' coronation (inset, with Queen Camilla) at Westminster Abbey on Friday. King Charles added crowned royals to the guest list for this coronation, bringing a large number of kings and queens to the pageantry in a break from tradition. Constitution has held that no other crowned monarchs should attend the coronation of a British monarch, a tradition that has existed for 900 years. Here's a list of the royals who are dealing into London for King Charles Coronation at Westminster Abbey tomorrow. To the left: Queen Letizia and King Felipe. Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco, respectively, are at the center. Right: Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway

Japan is the only other nation in the world not to be near to a traditional British coronation. So when Prince Charles of Wales and the Queen Charles travelled to witness imperial enthronements not once but twice, we have no doubt he was keeping an eye on him. It appears that the Japanese way of doing things may have influenced both the guest list and the wider blueprints for Charles' own Coronation on May 6. He attended the first enthronement in 1990, accompanied by Princess Diana. Akihito - still in poor health - has been deposed - almost three decades later. In 2019, the son of Hs son Aruhito became Emperor (pictured with Empress Masako) and Charles returned to Tokyo for the second time in 2019. Michael Fawcett, another royal visitor, was also on Charles' side, which is significant. And not just any visitor: Fawcett was one of Prince Charles' closest aides at the time, and he was often described as his eyes and ears. I asked a person who has followed the Royal Family for decades that he was here because he was doing a "recce," not realizing how the Japanese did an event like that.'

Crown Prince Fumihito (left) and Crown Princess Kiko of Japan (left) have confirmed their attendance at King Charles and Queen Camilla (right)'s coronation. The royal couple will attend Emperor Naruihto, 63, at the country's imperial palace, according to the country's imperial family. According to reports, the two will leave Tokyo two days before the coronation, which will take place at Westminster Abbey in London. Crown Prince Fumihito and his wife will remain in Mayfair's five-star hotel Claridge's after flying on a government-chartered plane. Inset: King Charles' coronation invite

In images taken at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Empress Masako of Japan posed with her husband Emperor Naruhito to mark her 59th birthday. For a touch of luxury, the Empress looked chic in a white suit with beads embellished on the lapels. With a double string of pearls and simple pearl earrings, she complemented her beauty. Likewise, her husband looked sharp in a crisp black suit and tie.

Submitted by the Queen of Denmark, touching throwback pictures of the queen ahead of her state funeral on Monday. Margrethe II, 82, who became the longest-reigning female monarch after the Queen's death, will attend the Westminster Abbey service with her son Crown Prince Frederik. The Swedish Royal Family, who will be attending King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia's funeral, also posted an Instagram post to pay their respects.

The Queen's funeral will attract royal families from around the world today. 2,000 mourners mourned Westminster Abbey, as well as representatives from Lichtenstein, Bhutan, and Monaco. They'll gather to pay their respects to the Queen, the world's longest-serving monarch at the time of her death at the age of 96. Many European royals have a special relationship with the Queen thanks to family ties that go back generations. And Aunt Lilibet, Spain's reigning King Felipe, even recognized her as his 'dear Aunt Lilibet.'

In the aftermath of rumors that Japan's Emperor Naruhito will be one of those forced to ride a bus to the Queen's funeral, Downing Street said today that'arrangements would change for world leaders. On Monday, Emperor Naruhito and his wife, Empress Masako, have been confirmed to be among the 20,000 people flying in to London for Her Majesty's state funeral. They are likely to be joined by other global heads of state, such as US President Joe Biden, France's Emmanuel Macron, Canada's Justin Trudeau, and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro. Global leaders' travel plans have been revealed by leaked government papers, rather than using private cars. Officials in the United Kingdom and the United States have since downplayed the possibility that Mr Biden would have to travel by a bus in central London. When traveling in the capital, they said that the US President will still be able to use his armoured vehicle dubbed 'The Beast.' However, it has now been confirmed that Emperor Naruhito will be one of those traveling to the funeral on a bus.

The reigning royal families of Europe have all confirmed that they will attend the Queen's funeral in London on Monday, demonstrating their continuing love for the British monarchs. Crown Prince Frederik and Queen Maxima of Denmark; Prince Albert and Princess Sonja of Norway; King Phillipe and Queen Sophie of Norway; King Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia of Sweden; King Prince Albert and Queen Queen Sonja of Norway; and Queen Letizia of Spain.

After missing out on the guest list for the Queen's funeral (pictured right: the Queen's coffin while sitting in state at Westminster Hall), Donald Trump (pictured left with the Queen in 2019) is expected to attend a memorial service for the Queen in the United States. According to reports, the former American president, 76, will be invited by the British Government to a vigil in Washington, DC. On Monday, American President Joe Biden and his wife Jill, as well as 500 other world leaders and foreign dignitaries, will attend the Queen's funeral in London. Mr Trump, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W Bush, the four living former US presidents, have reportedly not been invited. It comes as a result of rumors of a lack of space at Westminster Abbey, which is estimated to have a capacity of only around 2,200 people. According to The Telegraph, the former president of the United States had rather been invited to a special service of thanksgiving at Washington's National Cathedral on Wednesday. It's not clear if Mr Trump or the other three former presidents of the United States will attend the Washington event.

The Queen's funeral will be attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (pictured left) on Saturday, it was announced last night. First Lady Olena Zelenska (pictured right with her husband) is thought to be among a number of world figures, including US President Joe Biden, who are among the monarch's at the state funeral on Monday (left inset: the queen's coffin as she stands in state at Westminster Hall). However, her husband, who has been lauded for his wartime leadership after Russia's February invasion, is not expected to travel with her. As Ukraine continues to fight back Vladimir Putin's invading forces, he will remain in Ukraine. Putin, who has previously had a viewing with the Queen, has not been invited. According to The Sun, Mrs Zelenska will fly to the United Kingdom this weekend to represent her husband and her country.
