It turned out that Mako, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Akishino, is making adjustments to get married to Kei Komuro, who has been unofficially engaged, by the end of the year.
Engagement and ceremonies associated with marriage are not expected to take place.
According to the people concerned, Mako and Komuro are expected to get a job at a law firm in New York, USA, so they will be able to submit a marriage registration and get married by the end of the year. It means that it is being advanced.
It is expected that all ceremonies at the Imperial Palace and palace associated with the engagement and marriage of the female royal family, such as the "ceremony of ceremonies", which is a general ritual, and the "ceremony of Asami", which greets Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, will not be held. That is.
In addition, it is a policy that Mako will not receive the lump-sum payment paid when she leaves the imperial family, or even if she receives it, she will donate it to a public institution and will not use it for herself.
Regarding Mako's marriage, Akishinomiya said at a press conference last November, "The Constitution also states that marriage is based only on the agreement of both sexes. I think it should be respected. "
On the other hand, based on reports of financial troubles between Mr. Komuro's mother and a man who was a former fiancé, "I feel that many people are not convinced and pleased. "When it comes time to actually get married, I think it's important to talk properly, including the history of the past."
On the other hand, Mr. Komuro released a document detailing financial troubles in April, stating that he intends to settle the matter by giving a settlement money to a man who is a former fiancé.
