First in line to the throne

日皇室舉行“立皇嗣之禮”

Japanese Emperor Naruhito's younger brother, Crown Prince Fumihito, was formally sworn in as first in line to the Chrysanthemum Throne in a traditional palace ritual on Sunday that has been postponed for seven months and scaled down due to the coronavirus pandemic.

日本皇室11月8日舉行“立皇嗣之禮”，宣告日本德仁天皇的弟弟文仁親王成為皇位第一順位繼承人。“立皇嗣之禮”原計劃於今年4月舉行，因受新冠疫情影響而推遲，規模也有所縮小。

The ceremony for the 54-year-old crown prince, better known as Prince Akishino, concludes a series of imperial succession rituals that began in May last year when Naruhito ascended to the throne after their 86-year-old father Akihito abdicated.

去年5月，在86歲的父親明仁天皇退位後，德仁天皇繼位。為今年54歲的文仁親王舉行的“立皇嗣之禮”也結束了自此之後的一系列皇位繼承儀式。
