Briefly: For Aiko, a quick walk and then class

Like any ordinary schoolgirl, Princess Aiko walked to school Monday, just as she has since she started at Gakushuin Primary School in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward on April 10.

On Monday, the media snapped pictures of 6-year-old Aiko and her mother, Crown Princess Masako, walking from their home at the Crown Prince's Palace.

Her mother walks with her almost every day.

Aiko enrolled at the school April 10 along with about 130 classmates. On April 15, the school began providing lunch.(IHT/Asahi: April 22,2008)
