A more productive thought....You don't suppose that the doctor is the same guy who keeps her mom drugged up and permanently out of the spotlight ???

In Japan, if you have a 37.? temp, they will think you are on the verge of death. For some reason, the common belief here is that body temperature should not exceed 36.5 or so.

ACTUALLY 37.5 is the point where you can't attend daycare if you're a SMALL CHILD. Speaks volumes in more ways than one.

Reason or an excuse is no different than DPJ's Ichiro Ozawa, Hope she will recover soon without media coverage and little medical care.

She caught a cold? At least she got something for free!

With all due respect to the Royal Family, why are there two different news stories? One is about the birthday, and one is about a lack of celebration due to a cold. One story covering both would have sufficed.
