In these turbulent times, the exchange of visits between the Japanese and British monarchies is particularly unique. The trip was not routine, but difficult and full of surprises. From the start of 2020, through the coronavirus pandemic, to the death of the Queen of England and King Charles's ill health, the visit was challenging.
During the visit, the 60-year-old Empress Masako of Japan wore an all-lace gown, which was supposed to be elegant, but the public reaction to this was controversial, with some critics even pointing out that "exquisite beauty and ugliness coexist". Although this view is somewhat sharp, it undoubtedly reflects the public's dissatisfaction with the image of the visit.
The beauty of Williamson's pink brooch contrasts sharply with the beauty of lace. In this interview, this small brooch shines brightly, and its subtlety is reflected in Masako's costumes, which arouses the world's sentiment that trinkets can easily improve the overall aesthetic experience.
During the visit, the two countries exchanged the highest medals of honor, in accordance with tradition. The Japanese side gave the Grand Order Chrysanthemum Medal neck ornament, and the British side gave the Order of the Garter in return. However, neither queen was awarded the other's medals, a move that was unusual in terms of diplomatic etiquette. Such omissions in subtleties may hint at some indiscretion in the preparatory process.
During this visit, Empress Masako changed into a variety of outfits, from a lace jacket to a pure white dress. However, the jewelry pairing was too conservative and always focused on pearls, which, while maintaining a certain classical charm, were slightly out of harmony with the innovative theme of the entire visit.
State dinners in diplomacy are crucial, but they are often accompanied by discomfort and embarrassment. When the Qatari delegation arrived, the hostess of the Baotou family did not follow her husband, a subtle incongruity that caused a sense of embarrassment.
At this state banquet, Masako's dress and jewelry were perfectly matched. The earrings and double rock candy necklace she wears are old friends, and the No. 1 crown, also known as the "Meiji Crown", is a testament to her unique taste and the rich history of the Japanese imperial family.
During this visit, the Japanese Imperial Jewel sparked controversy. Some have accused it of being too shiny, and that it is slightly out of harmony when combined with the fence design and mirrored necklace. Although this assessment is a bit harsh, it reflects the high standards that the public demands on the image of the royal family.
During this visit to Japan, the filming technology also attracted attention. However, the blandness of the official images of the Japanese Imperial Family and the lack of visual impact undoubtedly had an impact on the public's perception of the visit.
During this visit, only one King Charles Portrait Medal was produced, which is puzzling. The delay may suggest that there is ambiguity in the royal preparations.
The Sophie jewels on display at the Queen's Museum in London are a gift from a Saudi prince from Queen Elizabeth II, a showcase of her extraordinary taste and the rich history of the British royal family.
During this visit to China, Princess Anne suffered an accident, which cast a cloud over the otherwise joyful atmosphere. Although the injuries were minor, they were nerve-wracking.
In this interview, the British royal representative, Duchess Boulget of Gloucester, was impressed. Her personable demeanor not only highlights her personal charm, but also reveals the historical and cultural connotations of the noble Commonwealth royal bloodline.
In this interview, Empress Masako's health is a concern. Despite her resilience during her visit, there were concerns about her health.
During this visit to the UK, the City of London dinner was a little dull and boring, and it was a little regrettable that Queen Masako did not attend, which greatly reduced her impression; On the other hand, Sophie from the UK also did not appear, making the dinner lineup a little thin.
During the visit, the choice of the crown sparked discussion. Sophie's presentation of the new crown at the gala and Bourget's choice of a Christmas tree reflect the unique tastes of the two women, but also reveal the underlying dullness within the royal circle.
The two kings spent more than 100 years together, and they were indeed accompanied by three crutches, which is really amazing. Although everyone outside the screen can hear that it is full of energy and enthusiasm, there is a faint haggard atmosphere in this vigorous vitality.
During this visit, the haze brought by Windsor disease to people was particularly serious. Camila's face is withered and her spirit is decadent, which makes people feel sad.
When the personnel walked out, it was like a dark cloud pressing down, and this heavy atmosphere permeated the surroundings, which made people feel depressed. This emotion permeates their demeanor and behavior.
Despite the twists and turns and unexpected circumstances encountered by the monarchs of Japan and Britain during their mutual visits, they demonstrate the deep and unique traditions and cultural heritage of their respective royal families. The visit covered a wide range of aspects, including debates over lace dresses, the exchange of medals of friendship and national honors, as well as adjustments and minor awkward moments at state dinners. All of this reflects the complexity of the visit.
Details such as Empress Masako's health, King Charles' Portrait Medal, and Sophie's jewelry pairing with Bulget give us a deeper understanding of the visit. However, it also triggers deep sorrow in our hearts.
Although people in the entertainment industry may age, their bodies may be out of shape, and their health may be poor, their many scandals and the decadent atmosphere and negative attitude that pervade them are very depressing.
During this interview, we appreciated the deep history and cultural heritage of the royal families of the two countries, but at the same time, we also felt an indescribable sadness. This sorrow is evident both in their countenances and in their words and deeds.
