US Envoy to Japan Caroline Kennedy Meets Emperor.

Source: nyt/ap

Newly arrived U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy presented her credentials to Japan's emperor on Tuesday, traveling by horse-drawn carriage into the Imperial Palace in downtown Tokyo.

Hundreds of onlookers snapped pictures and waved as Kennedy, 55-year-old daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, waved back from inside the carriage.

In an unusual move, national broadcaster NHK showed Kennedy's arrival at the Imperial Palace live, following the entourage from the air once it entered the palace gates.

Caroline Kennedy’s Son Is a JFK Jr. Look-Alike

Caroline Kennedy was sworn in today as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan, but all eyes were on her son, who bears a striking resemblance to the late John F. Kennedy Jr.

John “Jack” Schlossberg, 20, stood by his mother’s side as she was administered an oath by Secretary of State John Kerry.

The handsome college student, who was 6-years-old when his uncle died in a plane crash, may not have the Kennedy last name, but he has clearly inherited the winsome genes.

But an attractive young man, nonetheless.

The main thing is.... yeah, he can do the talk.

He can make w. the political yackety-yack.

Definitely a Kennedy.
