Viral video: Japanese princess travels economy, falls asleep in flight; social media calls her ‘porcelain doll'
Princess Kako visited four places in one day, which left her visibly tired. In the video, she is seen resting against the window soon after sitting down.
People online praised her for being simple and hardworking. Some admired her humble choice to fly economy while others felt private videos like this should not be shared.
'Videos like this should not be shared. Princess Kako is a hardworking and humble role model. We should protect her, not expose her,' the South China Morning Post quoted a user as saying.
'She looked like a porcelain doll. It is completely understandable to feel tired with such a packed schedule,' SCMP quoted another user as saying.
Princess Kako of Japan became more active in public life after her sister, Princess Mako, moved to New York. She left the royal family in 2021 to marry her college love.
Princess Kako's younger brother is next in line to the throne as women are still not allowed to rule in Japan.
The princess is known for winning hearts with her modesty and dedication. During a recent trip, the Japanese princess wore porcelain earrings made using traditional methods. Soon after, sales of those earrings rose 50 times in just a few days.
Her fashion choice gained huge praise online. One person wrote, 'Her outfits are never boring. Princess Kako truly shows the charming, lively and stylish side of royalty."
Known for her beauty, grace and honesty, Princess Kako now travels abroad alone to represent the royal family. She once said she handled all duties with sincerity though she admitted to having a short temper.
A former figure skater and a district champion in 2007, Princess Kako later studied performing arts and psychology at the University of Leeds in the UK. Fluent in sign language, she also supports charity work.
Princess Kako has become a fashion icon in Japan, often wearing colourful and bold outfits instead of the royal family's usual simple clothes. Her camellia-printed dress in Brazil gained over 5 lakh likes online.
A blue top she wore in Greece went viral. It was sold out in Japan within two days, boosting the brand's popularity.

Labubu craze: Child goes on ₹48 lakh destructive rampage after parents deny plush toy request — here's what happened
Labubu craze, which has taken the internet by storm, dug a deep hole in parents' pockets after they refused to buy the creepy doll for their child. In a recent incident, a child was upset and enraged after his parents refused to give in to his demands, vent out his anger by damaging a glass ceiling and smashed a crystal chandelier, worth over ₹ 4 lakh, according to South China Morning post, Documenting the shocking incident, a Chinese influencer known as 'Little Azheng' or 'Tail Brother' on social media said that a 'petulant' child caused more than ₹ 48.72 lakh (400,000 yuan) in damage. The embarrassed parents took responsibility of their child's unruly actions and offered to pay almost half the expenses of the damage, almost ₹ 24.36 lakh (20,000 yuan). Describing the happenings, the influencer said that a relative had visited his home with a young boy who wanted to get his hands over a Labubu doll adorned with expensive jewellery. When the child's request was turned down, he 'made a big fuss' and began throwing tantrums. Resentful and fuming, he grabbed a remote-control device and tossed it into the air causing the massive damage. The influencer shared pictures of damaged chandelier and pieces of glass scattered across the floor as he noted, 'The repair work for the ceiling alone requires removing and replacing all the remaining glass panels.' A few days ago, a rare Labubu x Vans plush doll was sold for a whopping $10,585 on eBay, making it one of the most expensive dolls sold so far.
