Don't feel bad. I didn't either until I got obsessed with the whole thing. ;) I think it has to do with the fact they are not as open as most royal families. They are kept isolated a lot and are not even allowed to do things (like have charities!).

Princess Masako is the wife of the Crown Prince, Naruhito. She used to be an up and coming diplomat in Japan, but dropped at when she got married to Naruhito (reportively, he had to propose three times because she rejected him due to the life she might have if she did accept).

I've talked about her life before:

The whole thing is huge.

Oh and here's an unoffical site on the royal family. Has a huge essay/article on Masako's troubles in profiles

If you have time to kill, it makes for interesting reading.
