Emperor Naruhito’s niece will say ‘yes, I do’ with her fiancé on October 26

The Imperial House of Japan has confirmed this Friday that Princess Mako, eldest niece of the current Emperor Naruhito and first-born of the crown prince Fumihito, will marry on October 26 with her former university companion, Kei Komuro.

The wedding will occur in a context of maximum tension for the financial controversies that have plagued the groom’s family. The fervent criticism that has been leveled at the fiancees and the public derision to which they have been subjected have taken their toll on Her Highness of Japan, who has suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Princess Mako has been diagnosed with a “complicated” condition and doctors attribute this health downturn to the constant criticisms that have been published in Japan “about herself, her family, her fiancé and his family”, as stated by the spokesman for the Imperial Family during a press conference.

Apparently, the daughter of Prince Fumihito has been invaded by fears “that it is impossible to fulfill her wish for a quiet and happy life after marriage”, even after having renounced their dynastic rights and privileges to be able to get it.

There are several controversies that have sparked the couple and that have forced them to postpone their nuptials for up to four years after announcing their engagement.

To get started, an old relationship with Kei Komuro’s mother was surrounded by some controversy over the funds that her then partner used to raise a child who was not his.

Princess Mako’s fiance had to issue a statement in which he clarified the financial situation of his family and assured that he would return up to the last yen to the man in question.

Furthermore, in a country strongly embraced by tradition, it was not quite popular with public opinion that Princess Mako married a commoner man, completely disassociated from the Imperial Household.

The most sensationalist Japanese press has fiercely influenced this issue, thus tarnishing the happy moment of the couple. Fortunately for them, they will finally see their desire to give themselves the ‘yes, I do’ come true, the goal at the end of a path that has not been easy for them.
