Life as an Empress in Japan's Imperial Family isn't easy. The tough experiences of Japan's Empress Michiko could hold lessons for Crown Princess Masako as she prepares to become Empress
Twelve-year-old Hisahito, son of Crown Prince Akishino, will become second-in-line to the Chrysanthemum Throne when Akishino's elder brother, Naruhito, inherits the crown from their father on May 1. Akishino will be first in line but is already 53.
Japanese Princess marries for love, loses title 01:19"Some women think having a female emperor might be good as a kind of role model," says Tonomura."But getting a female monarch is wishful thinking at this time."The only likely change to the monarchy in the near future is one allowing princesses to stay in the Imperial family even if they marry a commoner. That could potentially, says Shillony, pave the way for a female succession in the future.
