TOKYO: Japan's Princess Mako married her university sweetheart Kei Komuro on Tuesday , the Imperial Household Agency said, but proceedings were kept low-key following years of controversy.

But while the press initially fawned over Komuro, reports soon emerged that his mother had failed to repay a ¥4 million loan from a former fiance.

At her wedding in 2018, she wore a crimson kimono robe for female aristocrats, with her hair swept back in a ponytail in a traditional style.
