The video shows the royal travelling on an economy flight, despite her imperial status and close ties to Emperor Naruhito, her uncle. According to reports, Princess Kako had visited four different locations prior to boarding and, visibly exhausted, was seen sleeping during the flight. The footage quickly drew praise online, with many applauding her down-to-earth nature. According to a report in the South China Morning Post, the princess was in Brazil to attend the public events on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Initially, in the clip, she is seen entering the flight alongside other officials who accompanied her for a visit to the South American nation. After the lights were turned off, she fell asleep against the window of the domestic flight – a moment that has captured the Internet's heart. 🇯🇵🇧🇷It has been on viral for #Japan 's Princess Kako of Akishino who made her official visit to #Brazil.

It is completely understandable to feel tired with such a packed schedule." Another added, 'People love seeing her. The video shows how humble she is." While social media users had only praises for the princess who fell asleep soon after taking her seat, the Imperial Household Agency (IHA) expressed disappointment at the invasion of privacy. FYI, IHA is responsible for looking after royal affairs. Princess Kako stepped into the spotlight after her elder sister Princess Mako gave her royal title and left the imperial family in 2021 to marry her college sweetheart. After the latter relocated to New York, Kako took on a more public role, often travelling nationally and internationally to represent her royal household. Outside of her official role, she is admired for her grace and dedication. Japanese media often describe her as 'the hope of Japan." During one of her public addresses, she also candidly admitted to having a short temper, which she says is her biggest flaw.
