not just my way of thinking (royal family in Japan)

This is what I had been thinking about the birth of the new prince.. (Found this in an article on a website the other day..)

The Little Prince At LastAfter over forty years of spitting out only X chromosomes, the Royal family and thousands of ultra-conservative Japanese nationalists havereceived a bundle of joy a few weeks ago when Princess Kiko, wife ofthe Emperor's second son Prince Akishino, delivered a baby boy.The first announcement of the Princess' pregnancy came, suspiciously,the day Prime Minister Koizumi was bringing to the Diet a proposal tochange the succession rules and allow females to once again sit on theChrysanthemum Throne. This has led scores of people (i.e. your humbleeditor) to suspect a major conspiracy. To wit: Princess Kiko was keptout of the public eye during most of her pregnancy and when she didventure into public she didn't seem especially pregnant. A monthbefore her due date she was diagnosed with placental previa andconveniently hidden away in the hospital and the baby was eventuallydelivered via caesarian section. Even the news reports were muddled:"The baby was delivered minutes after a successful C-section." Yourhumble editor doesn't consider that news . "The baby was deliveredHOURS after the successful C-section." THAT would be news. Also, yourhumble thought a successful C-section WAS the delivery.Barely a week later, the princess walked out of the hospital lookingas thin as she had before her pregnancy, showed about one third of thebaby's face to the cameras and ran for her car. Your humble editorsuspects 1) the royal family bought a baby boy or 2) they swapped thebaby girl Kiko actually had for a boy or 3) we should all be on thelook out for a grave with a dead jackal in it.Either way, the issue of changing succession rules seems to be on thebackburner for at least another 40 years. Especially as almost 80% ofJapanese have said they would support a female monarch.
