It was announced today, Saturday, that the Japanese prince, Hessahito, has become the first male in the imperial family of the age of adulthood for 40 years, in an official ceremony in the palace.
The event reminds the great challenges facing the oldest ownership in the world, especially with the caliphate policy that only allows males and their numbers significantly decrease.
Prince Hesseho, the second in the arrangement of the throne of chrysanthemums, is expected to become a future emperor, but after him there is no male heir, what puts the imperial family in front of a great dilemma: Do you reconsider the old laws that canceled the women’s caliphate in the nineteenth century?
Hessahito was born on September 6, 2006, and he is the only son of Crown Prince Akishino and his wife, Princess Kiko. He has two sisters larger than him, the beloved Princess Kaku, and the former princess Mako, who abandoned her imperial status after her marriage to a person outside the family.
The rituals of Hessahito reach the age of adulthood, which will be held a year after its eighteen age, to become a legal adult, which he wanted to focus on university admission exams before fully involved in his future imperial responsibilities.
The event reflects a historical moment, but with the continuing policy of “males only” in the caliphate, experts believe that the future may witness radical changes soon, on how the Kingdom is managing the inheritance crisis.
