Japan’s Princess Mako has married her non-royal college sweetheart Kei Komuro, formally giving up her royal status.
The couple held a low-key wedding, after years of criticism and media scrutiny over their relationship.
The pair will now be moving to the US where Komuro works as a lawyer.

Aww so sweet🙏
She staying true to her self , she should be cherished as a wife as a mother, like the since the beginning, titles mean nothing.
The stress of trying to live up to the other people’s perceptions! You only have one life to live! Good for her!
Obviously you don’t know any truth of who she is manipulated by that shady boyfriend and their family
Is she related to princess peach? I know she’s Japanese too.
Nah man, I think she’s on Yoshi’s side. You can’t see the resemblance? They’ve got the *exact. same. tail.*
@Scumfuck McDoucheface no way. Yoshi is a dinosaur. Humans can’t reproduce with dinos.
@Micah Miranda ………. =|
Sorry, Micah. Our princess is in another castle.
0:58 look at this man. It indicates that he doesn’t says any from his heart, all is just scripted for drama. Just look at him as if like he just reading a piece of paper like old school student. 🤣😂😂
Yeah feels bad for the princess
Well I guess this is sort how Japanese folks address issues.
The French Revolution had the right idea.
SUBHANALLOH sangat luarbiasa 👍 👍 👍 👍
Yesssssssssss
congratulations
This is beautiful love transcending status ❤️
How would she able to keep her royal title? i thought japanese nobility was abolish beside the emperor household?
She’s losing her royal title lmao. And the Japanese monarchy still exist.
These titles are meaningless in the 21st century, unearned titles.
Another tool to divide the sheep, just like religion.
These titles might be meaningless and might not , they might divide the people or hold them together , but religion is not meaningless , religion is what give meaning to this life ,if you look out for the truth so badly like you do when you search for something that is missing, you should find it .
Imagine if she choose to married black man then the whole Japan will be disaater
When this happens in Arab royals?
I wish this is made into a Disney movie
I think they’ll pursue it
“Rich princess gives up royal titles and becomes rich princess without title”, very Interesting….Nah
Holy truth ! The truth is essential : She will never ascend the Chrysanthemum throne…. My heartfelt congratulations !
✓ Be blissfully happy ✓
True love we have never seen in Arab kingdoms !
How can people be so divided, why use the word (commoner) we are all equal in the sight of God, let me see who can keep his life ,if they are terminally ill
God granulation to this beautiful couples, girl u ave done the right thing for ur ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘
That’s not just japan that term is used for the whole world , cause despite breathing the same air in this world, people have chosen to live in their delusional world as if they are living in heaven but are actually on Earth 😂
She know what she want, that guy must be good heiiiin…💔😂😂😂😂😂😂✌🏼
Might have a smol dong
I love this woman. Obstinate is a sexy kind of way.
I’m glad she chose her happiness and not everyone else’s 😌 💗 💓 💕
Captivating video ever seen 💕
hey disney *wink* *wink*
Japan 🇯🇵 What a great country!
It is but it needs help ,
Its time to do away with Royalties around the globe. They do nothing and its a waste of taxpayers’s money.
well as this situation shows they even consider themselves superior and the consider the taxpayers just a bunch of stupid cattle anyway
That’s social suicide!
おめでとうございます！
Young love nice, I remember first time I saw a taco…. It’s gone now but the memories we shared were priceless and I’d give up my family for that
you sound almost as crazy as the royals and the laws surrounding them
Wait, Japan ranks poorly in gender equality?
Noice!
Bravo of the married couple
Respect to you mako.respect.
Be cherished as a wife, a mother, which is the true role of a good women since the beginning.titles mean nothing.
sexist japan
Sexist you more like it
Wow lucky guy
So why would she have to stop being in the royal family to marry a commoner talk about class hatred seems like they didn’t like that she married a normal guy
Go be happy Mako!
Congratulations. Best wishes with best of luck. Almighty God continuously blessings and cares on all of us. Long live’s with good health. God bless Japan❤️💖💛💛💚❤️💖💙💜
I don’t get it. Are Japanese royals supposed to be in-bred, or did the family want her to marry some foreigner with a noble title?
Nope, inbred are Hamburg Austrian royal family stuff. Meanwhile, in Japan, imperial family members, women especially need to marry noble not a commoner. But after WW2 noble system gets erased by the American occupier and many noble families lose their title .only the Imperial family who survived from American Carnage.
princess rejects schizophreic existence, chooses reality!
There should be no royal person in the world. They are all the same.
She marries a man of her choice good for her no big deal, giving up royalty best part so far royalty is only associated with tyranny and atrocities……
Not a man alive who is worth it. Best believe he would NOT do the same for her.
so everyone who isn’t a royal is considered an animal, a lesser human, that’s what this tells you ! the entire world should be outraged
Congratulations ❣️❣️❣️
He did it. The protagonist did it!
Please stop weabo.
@حارث عبداللہ lmao cry
Pathetic@حارث عبداللہ
@the2ndNaruto Yes i cry from this degenrate cringe.
it’s pronounced HEIRS not AIRS wtf … fix your english
In Japan, people aren’t happy she married a criminal family…….. And a liar.
Not a single Arab royal would abdicate his throne and live like a normal citizen.
Sweet, like a mexican novela … We love it.
Marriage is absurd.
She wants to be a commoner !
It is surprising that Japan still had not weaned itself from this “royal” thingy while its giant neighbour, China, had done away with this more than 100 years ago.
The so called royal family is just ordinary humans, nothing special, their blood is also red in colour, not blue colour, not an ET with special power needed to rule the country wisely.
Japan should quickly do away with this royalty thingy and leave the “princess” alone to live her own life.
Don’t “paparazzi” her and her husband in the USA.
It is the least these Japanese people can do for her.
Itna gussa kue hai alzajeera me
ヤバい
無神論犯罪者で有る、中東アラブ諸国テレビ局は、神虐待する、悪魔日本皇室の、悪魔追随者です。
Anti social….their is one life to live. THE THREW IS ALL AWAY!!!!
Remember Afghanistan 🇦🇫please.
She’s the best example Royal status doesn’t comes with happiness. Oops the late princess Diana lead the way already.
Shes free!!!.Go get yo man, love it!
The Japanese people knew the truth. The Media hide the truth for the sake of saving faces. The couple probably move to NY. She isn’t well with PTSD. Overall it’s their choice and lives.
Why not?
My people … a month from now, our country will have its 500th anniversary. On that sundown, I shall marry a lad who was once a commoner like yourselves. But perhaps you will not find him common now.
So amazing, love does win ❤️
Who Cares!
Why are you here then, dumbass

Best wishes for Mako and her blushing groom👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
japan has a royal family ? wtf…why. i dont see the point of royal families anyway..in this day and age..just stop with this fantasy BS please
Dude is a gold digger.
Now that’s love…. God bless them both!.🙏💕
Traditional things change over time.
She may have gave up the throne, status and priveledge of being a royal… they may never be king and queen,… But they have guts worthy of one… They know what’s important in their life and what can be sacrificed… They will truly keep each other and the people around them happy…
The heart wants, what the heart wants.
I didn’t know Japan still had Royals. I guess I’ve been living under a rock.
A brave woman is her husband’s crown,
but she is shameless as the decay of his bones.
I hope they last
That’s cute
This sort of rule by the chauvinistic royals is a reflection of the hypocrisy of olden times & the need to stump out the continuation of sexism & inequality from the top down in Japanese society.
kako is prettier.
According to the official plan of China, the Japanese archipelago will be part of China by 2050. They need to evacuate to somewhere else anyway. Ordinary Japanese will be forced to be eunuchs obediently obeying the dictator of China.
❤️❤️❤️
Mako’s marriage is controversial but it’s not because her fiance is a “commoner” nor a single mother’s son as described in American and European media.
In fact, a lot of royal members married “commoners”, blessed by the whole public, and are happily living:
– Princess Sayako, a granddaughter of Emperor Showa, married Mr. Kuroda, a local government officer, and an average employee. He is a college friend of Sayako’s brother.
– Princess Asako married Mr. Moriya, a company employee in 2018.
Ayako is a social welfare worker and they met in their social welfare activities.
– Crown Prince Akishino, the father of Mako, married his college sweetheart in 1990.
She was also a “commoner” living in a housing complex.
I recommend, on this issue, you refer to the commentaries of Mr. Taro Iwata (岩田太郎）, a Japanese journalist in the U.S. Mr. Iwata has been describing the Japanese post-war issues over this marriage with some warning, far more important than SNS smears and tabloids.
Actually, Mako hates her limited life as an imperial member trying to go over the border. However, the reason why Japanese imperial members are limited to their rights is that the U.S. GHQ led by Douglas McArthur established the Japanese post-war constitutions in 1946, which strictly prohibits the imperial members from exercising their too-great domestic power and from involving them in any civil/military affairs.
Over the princess’s marriage, not only slanders but also educated people in Japan are wondering the justification under the current post-war constitutions that the princess involved herself in some civil affairs such as her boyfriend’s financial disputes and exercised her power to deal with them on her fiance’s side. It’s apparently against the laws.
To avoid such involvement of the princess, her fiance should be more financially independent, but unfortunately not. So it’s a natural course that many Japanese feel doubts about her fiance who let the princess break the laws though they know she really loves him.
恭喜公主。祝您们永远幸福快乐。
Such an awesome story!
Why has no western “news” outlet covered this???
Al Jazeera going on about gender equality yet are funded by a sexist regime
It’s going to be very awkward, when they divorce.
princess mako take verynice step there is no diffierent bitween commoner&.princess different only money
BEING A PRINCESS IS VERY STRESSFUL IN JAPAN 🥰
IN MANY WAYS …..

Acts 2:44
Congrats both of you may you happy for the rest of your lives❤❤❤
Thank you for inspiring us with your courage and pure love.Congratulations Kei and Mako! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
In this day and age we still have royalty in the planet.?
If this isn’t showing us that we’re all just peasants I don’t know what will.
“Blablabla, Japanese culture is too oppressive on young people and women…” Well, maybe that is the reason why they are extremely rich, in spite of living in a country with constant disasters and no natural resources, don’t you think? 🤷🤷
What most Japanese hate about Komuro are (1) he has been always getting a free ride at someone else’s expense, (2) he never hesitates secretly record private conversation. When he knew that his mother had been “helped” by her boy friend, Komuro joined her meeting with the guy and recorded the conversation secretly to get the commitments that 4,000,000 yen was a present, not her debt.
These two are only part of his problems.
Everyone knows that guy is shady asf possible slasher

This guy looks like bad news I don’t know why .. I have no Idea about their situation at all but she could lose a lot because of this , I wish her well.
Mako has now opened door to a life of crime, because Kayo, mother of Kei Komuro is not immune from prosecution.（小室圭の母、佳代は告発を免れないので、眞子さんは犯罪人生のドアを開けた。）
I support her choice
Happiness is a choice
But I worry that princess should not hug her sister
Because of Covid19 still going on just in my opinion
The issue is the abuse of royal power and it’s pay-off scandal, illegal issue under Japanese law if she gives private individuals pay-off using Loyal Power
