The 29-year-old granddaughter of then-Emperor Akihito and her former college classmate, Kei Komuro, announced their engagement in 2017 but the following year the couple delayed their wedding, saying they had second thoughts about marrying so soon and needed more time to plan their future together.
Imperial Household sources told CNN at the time the postponement was due to "lack of preparation."
Under centuries-old Japanese law, the marriage between a royal and a commoner would require Princess Mako to give up her royal status.
Departing members are also entitled to a one-off payment. However, the government is set to agree that the princess forego the payment, worth up to 150 million yen ($1.35 million) for royals giving up their status to marry commoners, amid public criticism over her fiance, public broadcaster NHK and others said.

NHK said the wedding date may be announced in October.
Imperial law allows the throne to be passed only to male heirs. The other unmarried princesses of the family would also lose their royal status if they were to marry commoners -- a possibility that could leave the imperial family without enough members to carry out its public duties.

I hope the sacrifice is worth it for her. A high status man rarely is ever affected by marrying down, but a woman of high status is ever rarely as lucky.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww love is a beautiful thing especially if it mutual!
ReplyDeleteI commend the Princess.
Hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteI wish them all the best
Hope the sacrificed worth it!
ReplyDeleteNigerian women never want to co-create as universe, they want to serve and worship because they have pussy and breast/yansh. Thank God I am not going to end my life with one.
ReplyDeleteWhy won't they allow these people marry and not take their royal power from them?
ReplyDelete🤷♀️🤷♀️
Pls I agree with her decision. To me one of the advantages of having money is so you can freely choose love. Of course she can never be poor due to her background even if she loses inheritance.. just like Meghan and Harry, they may lose titles and inheritance but we all know they can never be poor. Cos sometimes poor people have to choose to marry wealth even when they don't love the person, enduring a life of sadness just to escape poverty. Why would someone who is already rich live in misery? Why choose wealth if you arr from wealth? Isnt that greed? Choose love jare. But be careful of leeches. Since she knows him from childhood I doubt he is a leech. Good luck Princess!
