Japanese Princess Mako has married a commoner and lost her royal status. Her union with Kei Komuro, a former university classmate, has split public opinion and was delayed more than three years by a financial dispute involving her new mother-in-law.

The dispute involves whether money his mother received from her former fiancé was a loan or a gift. Mako’s father asked Komuro to clarify, and he wrote a statement defending himself but it is still unclear if the dispute has been fully resolved.

No longer a royal, Mako has now taken the surname of her husband — an issue affecting most other Japanese women since the law requires married couple to use one surname. On Tuesday morning, she left the palace wearing a pale blue dress and holding a bouquet. She bowed outside the residence to her parents Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko, and her sister Kako, then the sisters hugged each other.

Congratulations

Love, well you can take that to heaven with you. A stack of gold, stocks or a throne room, you can't. It's good to see love win one.

There’s no such thing as “commoners” and “royal.” That’s just some made-up bull$hit.

Muhammad Qasim's dreams confirm that we are living in the end of times, and that the time of Imam Al-Mahdi is not far. Why are Muhammad Qasim's dreams coming true? Why are people claiming he is the Mahdi?

No matter where you go in this world, there is always someone else waiting to look down on you

Her life, her choice. What the public think is irrelevant. Wishing them every happiness

no man is worth losing your royal status

She defeated royalty, she didn't lose it.

Ask the English monarchy how this has worked out for them.

Talk about making life more difficult than it should be.

Who's the next in line?

She's so happy that she's a commoner now

I wish them every happiness. ❤️

This article covers nothing that many of us, the Japanese concern. Right after Komuro’s father committed suicide, his grandparents also committed suicide. Who would want our princess to marry a man from such a family?

Monarchy is outdated.

She made the right choice. Now she can live a normal life. She can stroll in Central Park without worrying about public scrutiny! Have a good life and be happy!!!

It has got to the point w/ POTUS & these stories of , not falsehood i don't think, but of a lack of or signs of A DECLINE ASSOCIATED W/ DEMENTIA is VERY EMBARRASSING & i feel PITY but YET that is WHAT is required by the MEDIA or at least FoxNews tracegallagher too FACT CHECK

Us commoners have big 🍆 Which is probably the reason ;-)

Brave princess ditched riches to be with a common dude 😊
