		Japan's crown prince Naruhito recently stunned the nation by confirming the country's worst-kept—though rarely discussed—secret: his wife, Crown Princess Masako, is utterly miserable.
		But that doesn't seem to be the opinion of the household agency, the powerful and secretive bureaucracy that controls every facet of the royals' lives, including their finances, their (practically nonexistent) social lives and even access to their phone lines.
		Many royal watchers interpreted Naruhito's comments in May as a play to loosen the household agency's grip on his family's affairs—and see last week's "clarification," although the agency denies it, as a punishment by a displeased bureaucracy that has no intention of changing its ways.
