Mako Komuro breaks her silence about leaving the imperial family to marry a commoner and reveals what she thinks about comparisons with the Sussexes.
Tokyo – The niece of Emperor Naruhito (61) married the middle-class Kei Komuro (30) on Tuesday in a simple ceremony and at the same time gave up her royal status. Japan’s former Princess Mako (30) and Kei Komuro are now ready to open the next chapter.
What moves them, they reveal in the press conference after the wedding, knows 24royal.de *.
Mako from Japan and husband Komuro want to start their new life in New York after their formal wedding in Tokyo *. Kei currently works for the law firm Lowenstein Sandler LLP, according to People magazine. He recently passed the New York State bar exam. As a connoisseur of Japanese art, Mako has allegedly already got a job in a New York museum.
“I want to lead a warm family life with Mako,” says the newlywed, putting his feelings into words. He wants to support them and be an invaluable part of their existence.
The couple’s decision to leave the royal family and move to the United States has also brought about comparisons with Duchess Meghans * (40) and Prince Harry * (37) moving to California. Mako finds it sad to receive such questions: “We never considered our engagement a ‘scandal’, although unfortunately there have been some disputes,” she admits. She doesn’t want to answer questions about her future private life. She wants to lead a quiet life in her new environment.
No wonder considering the history. After the engagement in 2013 there had been massive public criticism, so that Mako’s father, Crown Prince Fumihito of Akishino * (55), refused to approve. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
