KYODO — A senior lawmaker from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party said Sunday that Princess Aiko cannot become emperor under Japan's current succession law, adding that no one would want to marry her if she did.
Hirofumi Nakasone, 80, a former foreign minister who heads the LDP's constitutional reform headquarters, made the remarks during a speech in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, as lawmakers continue debating how to address the shrinking imperial family.
