Princess Masako Owada joined the royal family when she married the Crown Prince Narhuito after a long courtship and numerous marriage proposals. It is speculated that she resisted marriage because of the constraints she knew it would put on her independent nature. Indeed, Masako has led a largely quiet royal life and there are rumors of her depression due to the intense pressure to bear a son. Early Life: Crown Princess, born Masako Owada, on December 9, 1963, in Tokyo, Japan, to Ambassador Hisashi Owada, and Yumiko Owada. She has twin younger sisters, Reiko and Setsuko. Her father is a career diplomat who served as administrative vice minister of foreign affairs and Japan’s representative to the United Nations.

She loved animals and sports, and once thought about becoming a veterinarian. Princess Masako was a star athlete...

n 1999, Russian president Boris Yeltsin dismissed his prime minister and promoted former KGB officer Vladimir Putin in his place. In December 1999, Yeltsin resigned, appointing Putin president, and he was re-elected in 2004. In April 2005, he made a historic visit to Israel—the first visit there by any Kremlin leader.

The Blue Mosque was commissioned by Sultan Ahmet I when he was only 19 years old. It was built near the Hagia Sophia, over the site of the ancient hippodrome and Byzantine imperial palace (whose mosaics can be seen in the nearby Mosaic Museum). Construction work began in 1609 and took seven years.  The mosque was designed by architect Mehmet Aga, whose unfortunate predecessor was found wanting and executed. Sultan Ahmet was so anxious for his magnificent creation to be completed that he often assisted in the work. Sadly, he died just a year after the completion of his masterpiece, at the age of 27. He is buried outside the mosque with his wife and three sons.  The original mosque complex included a madrasa, a hospital, a han, a primary school, a market, an imaret and the tomb of the founder. Most of these buildings were torn down in the 19th century. Blue Mosque Istanbul:
