Japan’s Princess marries, stripped of royal status

Japan’s Princess Mako has married her college sweetheart Kei Komuro – therefore losing her royal status.

Under Japanese law, female imperial family members relinquish their status upon marriage to a “commoner” although male members do not.

She similarly skipped the usual rites of a royal wedding and turned down a payment offered to royal females upon their departure from the family.

She is the first female member of the royal family to decline both.

The couple is expected to move to the US – where Mr Komuro works as a lawyer – after marriage.
