A Japanese princess who is the niece of Emperor Naruhito is giving up her royal title and turning down a $1.35 million payment to marry her commoner college sweetheart — who graduated in May from New York’s Fordham Law School.
Princess Mako, 29, and Kei Komuro, her former college classmate, announced their engagement in 2017 when her grandfather, Akihito, was emperor of Japan.
