三笠宮家の長男で、天皇陛下のいとこにあたる寛仁親王殿下が６日午後３時３５分、入院先の東京都千代田区の杏雲堂病院で逝去された。６６歳、皇位継承順位 は第６位であられた。障害者福祉などに心血を注がれる一方、気さくなお人柄で国民から「ヒゲの殿下」と親しまれた。一般のご葬儀にあたる「斂葬（れんそ う）の儀」は、東京都文京区の豊島岡墓地で執り行われるとみられる。
　寛仁さまは昭和２１年１月５日、昭和天皇の末弟、三笠宮崇仁（たかひと）親王殿下の長男としてご誕生。学習院大学法学部を経て、戦後、皇族としては初めての海外留学で英オックスフォード大学に学ばれた。　大変なスキー好きとして知られ、スキーを通じて身障者や青少年の福祉などに取り組まれた。まだまだ頑張っていただかなければならない年齢ですから、本当に惜しいことですね。心からご冥福をお祈りするばかりです。
