Japan's princess may be recovering

TOKYO, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Recent public appearances by Japan's Crown Princess Masako indicate she may be recovering from a stress-induced illness, Hellomagazine.com reported.

Crown Prince Naruhito and Masako, carrying her daughter Aiko, have returned to Tokyo after 10 days at a royal mountain retreat, the British magazine's Web site reported Tuesday.

The 40-year-old princess has been diagnosed as suffering from an "adjustment order."

After being out of public eye for quite some time, the princess has now made three public appearances in the past month.

The princess has been greeted enthusiastically by the public during all her recent outings.
