An extraordinary wedding took place in Japan today. Princess Mako and her bourgeois friend Kei Komuro are married and leave the crown behind.
Tokyo – It’s both a happy ending and the longed-for new beginning for the former princess Mako (30) and her college friend Kei Komuro (30). After years of controversy and public disputes, love has triumphed. Mako Komuro and the bourgeois Kei Komuro are married. On the day of their wedding, they appeared together in front of the press.
For the 30-year-old, a life begins immediately without her royal titles and privileges, reveals 24royal.de.
Japan’s Princess Mako married her civil friend Kei Komuro on Tuesday, the imperial authority announced. This was preceded by years of allegations and speculations about a financial dispute with Komuro’s mother *. The engagement had therefore spanned four long years. That meant running the gauntlet for Princess Mako, while Kei built a legal career in New York after studying law. Mako waived all traditional ceremonies and the severance payment * to which the daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito von Akishino (55) should actually be entitled.
No trace of solemn bliss, beaming faces and proud parents, as one might expect at a wedding. The newly wed couple originally intended to hold a press conference at a Tokyo hotel from 2 p.m. (7 a.m. CET), but decided to give just one speech and provide written answers to five selected questions pre-submitted by the media could become.
Allegedly a protective measure for the niece of Emperor Naruhito (61). A stress disorder had manifested itself in Mako * through the ongoing feud over her person. Instead of recognizing a female succession, people thought out loud about adoption in order to compensate for the loss of heirs to the throne. It was not possible for her to answer oral questions, it was said the day before the wedding.
Mako Komuro is leaving the imperial residence and her family on her wedding day and is now living in a condominium in Tokyo until she moves to New York. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
