STORYLINE:
Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako arrived Friday at Balliol College at the University of Oxford where Masako studied international relations in the late 1980s.
The royal couple were welcomed Friday on arrival by Baron Patten of Barnes, Chancellor of the University of Oxford (and last Governor of Hong Kong) and Dame Helen Ghosh, Master of Balliol College.
Naruhito studied 18th-century commerce on the river Thames as a graduate student at the University of Oxford’s Merton College some 40 years ago.
He chronicled the interest in his memoir “The Thames and I,” together with his fondness for Britain and its people.
The future emperor got a chance to experience life outside the palace walls, including doing his own ironing, going to the bank and taking part in pub crawls.
King Charles III welcomed the Japanese emperor and empress for a state visit that began on Tuesday, offering the best in pomp and circumstance as the U.K. seeks to bolster its role as the most influential European nation in the Indo-Pacific region.
