Prince Akishino, Princess Kiko Mark Silver Wedding Anniversary

Tokyo, June 29 (Jiji Press)--Japanese Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko marked their 25th wedding anniversary on Monday, expressing appreciation to each other in a statement. In the unusual dialogue-style statement, the prince told his wife that he truly feels appreciation for her, although she may be frustrated as he rarely puts the feeling into words. The princess replied that she is happy if the husband feels she is helpful. The two married in 1990 after their encounter at Gakushuin University. The couple has three children--Princesses Mako, 23, and Kako, 20, and Prince Hisahito, 8. END
