[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone explain. There’s the Japanese royal family but then is there a whole level of aristocracy from whom they normally choose their mates? [/quote] After WWII the emperor was striped of all his power and 11 out of the 12 branches of royalty lost their titles. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Japan it is impossible for a royal to marry another royal because the pool is so small and they're all first cousins.[/quote] Yes, and females who do not marry royalty cannot hold their titles. This was a deliberate rule put in place to slowly extinguish the Japanese royal family.[/quote] Personally I would like all royal families to be extinguished. Which is why I like this story and Princess Mako as well as Prince Harry moving to America and raising American children.[/quote]
