TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- Japan's Princess Kiko has given birth to a son, likely postponing a long-running debate over whether Japanese law should be changed to allow women to succeed to the throne, the imperial palace announced Wednesday. The boy is third in line to the throne, after Crown Prince Naruhito and Kiko's husband, Prince Akishino. The Imperial Household Agency gave few details about the birth, which came by Caesarean section following pregnancy complications, and did not release the boy's name. (Watch Japan welcome a new royal -- 2:56) The agency said only that the baby was healthy and that he weighed about 2,558 grams (5.6 pounds). Naruhito is the eldest son of Emperor Akihito.

Alright for them!!!!! Finally the pressure will be off Naruhito and Masako!

Banzai!!!!! :jump:

I know it's happy news, but I was SO hoping that Aiko could be the Empress!! I know, I know, Japan might not have been ready - but actually it looked like they WERE - at least until now...!

I say - GIRL POWER! Aiko was born FIRST - she should RULE!! (Girls rule and boys drool!!)


(JUST KIDDING!!!)
