Here’s a rare and exclusive look at the private Caroline Kennedy, our new ambassador in Tokyo. She is playfully taking a “selfie” of herself with Vice President Joe Biden and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kennedy when they met up in a Tokyo hotel in recent days.
The three Irish and Irish American dignitaries were hamming it up in a typically playful Irish way. Caroline has never looked happier, say close friends, than she does in her new job as America’s representative to a great nation. Famously reserved and shy, the appointment to the land of the chrysanthemum throne has liberated and energized her.
