Japanese Princess Mako, the eldest granddaughter of Emperor Akihito, will give up her royal status to marry a former classmate who once worked as a "Prince of the Sea" to promote tourism. Japanese media reported the union would stoke debate on the ever-shrinking royal family since the princess must become a commoner after she marries. The country's cabinet is expected to approve a bill on Friday to allow Akihito, 83, to step down, the first abdication by a Japanese emperor in nearly two centuries, after he said last August he feared age would make it hard to fulfil his duties. But the legislation will make no reference to the controversial topics of whether to revise a males-only succession law or to allow women to stay in the imperial family after marriage, a move conservatives fear would be a first step to letting women inherit the throne.
