This article describes Japan's desperation on how the Royal family is running out of male heirs.  They have actually become so worried that the family won't produce another male heir in time for the eldest son to take over the throne that they have actually considered to change the law to even the eldest daughter can become eligible to take over the throne.

Personally I believe that this might be for the better.  Women throughout the world are beginning to make a name for themselves.  Look at Hilary Clinton and how she ran for presidency back in 2007-2008.  Women are CEOs and are owning their own companies.  This is just another example on how women are beginning to in a way run the world.  Is it for the better? Who knows?!

This Article, published in 2008, is basically about how the life of the French Monarch was after the beheading of Marie Antoinette.  It mostly lists the rest of the monarchs and how their untimely end came to be.
