Difficulties of the royal life

Peter Townsend was sent to work in Brussels for two years. When he returned, Margaret was 25 and old enough to marry without permission.

Japanese officials say that the imperial line of succession can always go to the eldest daughter of Naruhito's younger brother, but that would produce the first female occupant of the throne in the modern era.
