TOKYO--Japan's Princess Mako has lost her royal status after marrying her commoner boyfriend Kei Komuro, following years of controversy over a financial dispute involving his mother. The niece of Emperor Naruhito became Mako Komuro under a family registry with her university sweetheart on Tuesday.
The newlyweds, both 30, appeared together in front of the media in the afternoon for the first time in about four years.
