The marriage between Mako del Giappone e Kei Komuro we have to do, finally. After having been talked about for a long time, thea couple made up of the princess and her former university friend is ready to take the plunge, with all due respect to the Japanese imperial court which has not yet completely resigned to the idea of having a bourgeois in the family. But true love, you know, is stronger than everything and even beats the millennial traditions of the Chrysanthemum Empire.
According to the latest rumors, the date would have been set for next October.
Still top secret on the exact day, but there is an unequivocal clue that something is moving: the return of Kei Komuro to Japan. The young man, 29, a professional manager, had been missing for three years from his native country and returned on Monday 27 September precisely to finalize the final details of the ceremony, which should take place. in a very private way, in the Tokyo municipality, without any fanfare.
For example, there will be no official engagement ceremony, “Nosai no Gi”, during which the families of the future spouses exchange gifts, e “Choken no Gi”, when the bride and groom meet the emperor and the empress before the wedding.
All this above all because of the many controversies that have accompanied this young couple towards the “yes”. The latest scandal had been yet another act of rebellion by the young Mako, who at the beginning of September he had made it known that he wanted to waive the compensation from 150 million yen (about one million and 100 thousand euros) which is up to women who leave the court “to preserve the dignity of a person who was once a member of the imperial family”.
Mako doesn’t want any severance pay, but not just for reasons of heart. Kei Komuro’s mother was the subject of a financial dispute with her ex-boyfriend, who financed her stepson’s studies. Komuro himself, last April, publicly pledged to repay the sum. Considering the general climate of distrust towards Komuro’s family it is obvious that Mako has opted for the more practical solution, especially considering that the severance pay of a member of the imperial family is financed with public funds. More than a rebel intolerant of the rulesIn short, as she has been repeatedly defined, the princess is one who knows how things work and now aims to bring public opinion to hers.
The wedding with Kei Komuro had been announced in 2017, but in February 2018 the couple had held back, deceiving themselves not very ready for such an important step. In 2019, another postponement, due to the unclear economic situation of Komuro’s mother, indebted to the ex to pay for his son’s studies: the amount would amount to 4 million yen, 31 thousand euros. A situation that the royal family and many Japanese had considered too embarrassing. The intentions of Kei and Mako, however, have not changed and in the end even her father, Prince Akishino, future emperor, had to agree to the wedding.
“The Constitution says that marriage must be based solely on the mutual consent of the two partners. If that’s what they really want, I think it’s something I have to respect as a parent “, the prince had said last December, during a press conference. After the wedding, Mako will start a whole new life, and it’s not just a saying: the members of the royal house are not even registered, they have no marital status or documents. Mako will need them. After the “yes” she and Kei Komuro will move to America.
