The news is full

The news is full of national leaders’ children.

The Imperial Crown Prince & Princess are due to give birth to their first child any day now. If it is a boy, he will be in line for the throne. If the baby is a girl, probably not. The Japanese constitution (written with help from the US after WWII) specifies a man on the Imperial throne.

On the opposite end of the spectrum PM Koizumi’s son, Kotaro, made his “talent debut” this week when he appeared in an advertisement for light beer.
