日本众议院和参议院议长周五编制了一份关于修订《皇室典范》的共识草案，旨在维持皇室成员人数。
众议院议长森英介表示，该文件基于各党派的意见，将于周一提交给所有13个议会党团会议。拟议的修订案将允许皇室收养来自11个旧皇族分支的男性成员，并允许女性成员在婚后保留皇室身份。目前的1947年《皇室典范》仅允许父系有天皇血统的男性继承皇位。如果该共识在周三的会议上获得批准，将提交给内阁总理大臣高市早苗，以便政府起草法案。该法案可能在7月17日本届国会会期结束前获得通过。由于66岁的德仁天皇目前仅有三位继承人，即60岁的弟弟秋筱宫文仁亲王、19岁的侄子悠仁亲王以及90岁的叔叔常陆宫正仁亲王，外界对皇位稳定继承的担忧日益增加。
