In a rare and emotional decision, Japanese Princess Mako of Akishino, the eldest niece of Emperor Naruhito, gave up her royal title and turned down a $1.4 million (150 million yen) government payout to marry the man she loved.

In October 2021, she wed Kei Komuro, a commoner and her longtime partner from university.

From the pictures, you can tell that she truly loves the guy. Look at the way she looks at him with love and respect. A real woman she is, a rare gem ❤️
