Princess Aiko starts work at Japanese Red Cross Society

Princess Aiko of Japan has started her first day of work at the Japanese Red Cross Society.

She joined the Japanese Red Cross Society as a contracted employee and will work in a department focused on training volunteers. This will be part-time as she combines it with her official duties.

She told reporters at the Red Cross headquarters, “I feel joyful, but also humbled to be taking my first step as a working member of society. While my days as a working member of society have just begun, I will endeavour to adjust quickly to the workplace and be of assistance.”
