In a big milestone for Japan’s royal family, Prince Hisahito has turned 18, becoming the first male royal family member to reach adulthood in almost four decades
FILE - Japan's Prince Hisahito, wearing a traditional ceremonial attire, is accompanied by his parents, Prince Akishino, Princess Kiko, his sisters Princess Mako, left, and Princess Kako, right, after attending"Chakko-no-gi" ceremony to celebrate his growth and the passage from infancy to childhood, at the Akasaka imperial estate in Tokyo, Nov. 3, 2011.
His status as the last heir apparent poses a major problem for a system that doesn't allow empresses. The government is debating how to keep succession stable without relying on women. The succession chart can get confusing: Naruhito is the emperor. His brother, Akishino, is second in line. Hisahito, the son of Akishino, comes next.
