Japan’s Princess Hisako says she was nervous about her daughter Noriko’s recent engagement.

The Princess made the comment at an orchid exhibition.

Her daughter, Princess Noriko, got engaged to a priest from one of Japan’s holiest Shinto shrines this week.

It was the first time Princess Hisako talked about her daughter’s engagement in public.

Hisako said as a mother, it was her job to raise her child to become someone who makes people happy.

The Princess said her daughter was now leaving the nest.
