After four years, Princess Mako finally tied the knot with her college sweetheart Kei Komuro, officially giving up her place in the Japanese royal family.
On Tuesday, Princess Mako, who is the niece of Emperor Naruhito, and Komuro married in a quiet ceremony, skipping any formal, traditional rites that usually accompany Japanese royal weddings. Instead, they registered their union at the local government.
The union officially marked Princess Mako’s formal exit from the Japanese imperial family. In Japan, princesses who marry commoners will lose their royal status and become a normal citizen upon marriage as stated by Imperial Household Law, a statute in Japanese law created in 1947.
In 2017, it was announced that Princess Mako and Komuro were engaged to be married. The original ceremony was scheduled for 2018, however, their union was delayed by three years due a financial dispute regarding the groom’s mother and her former fiancé, who reportedly helped finance Komuro’s education. The controversy made both the royal family and Japanese public quick to be skeptical of the marriage.
The princess’ dramatic departure from the royal family has led the media to draw comparisons to another former royal couple: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The couple announced they were leaving

DeGeneres revealed the skin care brand, called Kind Science, on her talk show on Oct. 5, stating the brand will focus on age positivity while offering products that are “kind to animals, kind to skin, kind to the planet and kind to your wallet.” The brand is three years in the making.
Launching today, Kind Science offers seven products, including a cleanser, micro exfoliant, firming serum, hydration cream, eye cream, neck treatment and radiance oil. The products are blended with ingredients meant to be gentle on the skin, such as the cleanser that’s made with Kakadu plum, chamomile and Boswellia serrata, and the micro exfoliant that’s made with a fruit acid blend, volcanic sand and bamboo silk to brighten, polish and soften the skin.
The Kind Science firming serum includes plant-based ingredients that are said to support collagen growth and provide the same benefits as a retinol without irritating the skin.
DeGeneres’ beauty brand comes as the talk show host is ending the 19-season run of her talk show, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” announcing in May that this would be her last season. The announcement came after DeGeneres came under fire with accusations of workplace
