October 19, 2020

According to Royal Central,

There had been much debate on when the ceremonies would take place due to the pandemic, but the government decided they could take place in November after being postponed from April.

The “Rikkoshi no rei” ceremonies will officially proclaim Fumihito as the first in line to the throne.

Fumihito is the younger brother of Emperor Naruhito who took the throne on 1 May 2019 after the abdication of their father, Emperor Akihito on 30 April.

The Crown Prince is followed in the line of succession by his third child and only son, Prince Hisahito.
