悠仁さま進路巡り「根拠ない情報」　宮内庁

　１８歳の成年となられた秋篠宮家の長男悠仁さま＝筑波大付属高３年＝の進路を巡り、宮内庁の吉田尚正・皇嗣職大夫は６日までに、「根拠のない情報が流れている」と述べた。
　悠仁さまを巡っては、一部週刊誌などが「推薦制度を使って東京大に進むのではないか」と報じ、ネット上で反対する署名活動も行われた。
　吉田大夫は「こういった状況を大変不思議に思っており、心を痛めている」と懸念を表明。「成年になられたといっても高校生でいらっしゃる。悠仁さまがご感想の中で述べられているように、進路実現に向けて努めて、高校生活を大切にしたいとの思いを、私個人としても大切にさせていただきたい」と話した。（2024/09/06-00:20）

A senior official of Japan's Imperial Household Agency has warned that groundless information is circulating regarding the future plans of Prince Hisahito, who came of age at 18 on Friday.
   Weekly magazine and other media reports have said that Prince Hisahito, the son of Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko and second in line to the throne, may seek admission to the prestigious University of Tokyo through a recommendation system. The reports sparked an online petition campaign in opposition.
   "I have found the situation very strange. I am feeling distressed," said Naomasa Yoshida, grand master of the Crown Prince's household.
   "Even though he has come of age, he is still a high school student. As Prince Hisahito mentioned in his reflections, he is striving to realize his future plans and wishes to cherish his high school life, and I also want to value that personally," Yoshida added.
