Emperor Naruhito: Breathe easy! Tissue sample shows no evidence of prostate cancer
This message not only pleases the recipient, but a whole people! Japan’s Emperor Nahurito, 62, has had anxious weeks. In early November 2022, the regent had to undergo a prostate exam at Tokyo University Hospital. After a tissue sample was taken on December 4th, no abnormalities were found in the subsequent examinations. This was announced by the imperial court office on Monday.
A few weeks ago, Emperor Naruhito had an increase in a tumor marker. The royal patient then underwent an MRI on November 6, 2022 at Tokyo University Hospital [Magnetresonanztomographie, Anm. d. Red.] carried out. With the imaging procedure, the structure and function of the tissues and organs in the body were examined more closely. Apparently there was reason for concern at this point. Now the 62-year-old can breathe again. Nevertheless, his personal physicians remain vigilant: According to Ryozo Nagai, the medical head of the imperial household, his state of health is still being monitored by blood tests.
Louis and Marie Ducruet on a dream vacation
In just a few months, Louis, 30, and Marie Ducruet, 29, are three. The couple announced on November 23 that they are expecting a baby for the first time. Before the big hustle and bustle awaits the two Monegasques as a small family, they let their souls dangle with relish.
Both Louis and Marie share impressions of their dream holiday in Mauritius via Instagram. The parents-to-be pose in front of a paradisiacal backdrop in turquoise blue water and bright sunshine. The son of Stephanie von Monaco, 57, lovingly kisses his wife on the forehead. She has wrapped her baby ball in a floral bikini and smiles contentedly. As can be seen from her Instagram story, things went even higher: when flying in a helicopter, the couple was able to see paradise from above.
