NAMES IN THE NEWS : Japan Prince Gets His Own Place
From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports
TOKYO — Crown Prince Naruhito, eldest son of Emperor Akihito and first in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne, moved out of his parents’ home today, five days after his 30th birthday, the Imperial Household Agency said.
The crown prince, who is regarded as Japan’s most eligible bachelor, had lived on his own only during studies at Oxford University in England in 1983-85.
His new two-story residence is about a 10-minute walk from his parents’ home in the same Akasaka Palace compound.
