Princess Ayako to give up her Royal title to marry a commoner

Last year, Princess Mako too renounced her royal status to marry a commoner, a 25-year-old law firm employee, and graduate student, Kei Komuro. Princess Ayako’s older sister, Princess Noriko, also left the royal family in 2014 to marry commoner Kunimaro Senge. Ayako will be the third princess in Japan to give up her royal title in order to marry a commoner.

While Prince Harry and Prince William also married outside royal blood, they still retain their royal status but as per Japanese imperial law, Ayako must leave the royal family and give up her royal status. Prince Willaim got married to Kate Middleton in 2011 and Prince Harry married his beautiful wife Meghan Markle earlier this year.

Under Japanese imperial law, a princess is required to leave the Royal Family when she exchanges vows with a common man, but the same law doesn’t apply to male members of the Japanese Royal Family.

However, Princess Ayako will receive a bonus payment expected to be around a million pounds.
