[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what would be worse in the eyes of the people, marrying the allegedly spotty Kei Komuro or marrying a rich titled Westerner? What if Mako had married Georgiy Romanov? Or the Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor?

They can be as stubbornly traditional as they want but the simple fact is that the monarchy is going to go extinct due to the absurdly restrictive house laws and then they will be protecting nothing at all. The entire monarchy is riding on 15-year-old Prince Hisahito. [b]What if something happens to him, or he has no sons?[/b] There are very few monarchies with agnatic primogeniture anymore and all of them except Liechtenstein are in countries that also allow plural wives.

I don't think he will be able to find a wife. Can you imagine the pressure to produce an heir?

I dont think that will be a problem.  Some of us are pretty fertile and if you have money.....you will get a boy[/quote]

They've struck out for 50+ years and the Japanese imperial family are billionaires. [/quote]

+1. There were reports that Masako (the current Emperess) was undergoing fertility treatments for years in hopes of getting a boy. Clearly that didn’t work. [/quote] 
That’s why Mako’s mother had to get pregnant again when her older daughters were teenagers. [/quote]
