what if its a girl?
😀😀😀😀
Nothing will change. There are lots of options available without changing anything. They can wait for Masako to have a boy (probably won't, she's under too much stress and pressure...), or Kiko to have a boy (also probably won't...)
Anyway, Hironomiya will be the next emperor, and the constitution will probably change to let Aiko (his daughter) become Regent until Heisei's cousin's grandson (forget his name at the moment) is old enough to be crowned.
Or Hironomiya will have a concubine produce a boy.
Or the constitution will change to let Aiko become Emperess.
What if it's a boy? Well, then the whole ballgame will change. The boy will become 2nd in line (until Masako has one, which as we said before, is unlikely.)...
