Princess Mako of Japan sacrifices throne for love

Despite royal family objections, Japanese Princess Mako will marry a common person this month. Their wedding is scheduled for October 26.
According to international media, Princess Mako, a member of the Japanese royal family and the daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito, 29, has given up the crown to marry Japanese citizen Komoro.
According to media sources, the princess would also forego the royal wedding custom for her marriage. If she foregoes both royal ceremonies and money, she will be the first woman in Japan's royal family to do so.
