First in line to the throne

日皇室举行“立皇嗣之礼”

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日举行“立皇嗣之礼”，宣告日本德仁天皇的弟弟文仁亲王成为皇位第一顺位继承人。“立皇嗣之礼”原计划于今年4月举行，因受新冠疫情影响而推迟，规模也有所缩小。

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岁的父亲明仁天皇退位后，德仁天皇继位。为今年54岁的文仁亲王举行的“立皇嗣之礼”也结束了自此之后的一系列皇位继承仪式。
