A small article from Hello: http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2005/04/18/princenaruhito/
18 APRIL 2005
Crown Prince Naruhito of Japan seemed to have not a worry in the world when he met two of Europe's most popular couples at Togu Palace on Sunday.
The heir to the Chrysanthemum throne was a gracious host, smiling broadly while chatting with Denmark's crown prince and princess, Frederik and Mary, and their Dutch counterparts, Willem-Alexander and Maxima. However, there was one person noticably absent from the cordial gathering – Naruhito's own wife Masako, who remains in seclusion continuing her recovery from an "adjustment disorder".
Although pregnant Princess Maxima had announced she would cut back her official duties due to her expectant status last month, she appeared radiant and rested on the jaunt to Japan. The famously exuberant royal, whose second child is due in mid-July, was simply glowing in a soft gold trouser suit which matched the honey tone of her husband's necktie.
Equally elegant were Crown Prince Frederik and his Australian-born wife, who recently earned praise from her mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe. The monarch remarked that the newly-minted princess is doing a "great job".
