She was born a princess.
But she chose love.

Mako Komuro, niece of Naruhito, grew up surrounded by royal tradition and centuries of expectations.

In 2012, while studying at International Christian University, she met a law student named Kei Komuro in a coffee shop.

She later said his smile was “bright like the sun.”

But their relationship quickly became national news. When their engagement was announced in 2017, media scrutiny and public criticism exploded. The pressure became so intense that Mako was later diagnosed with complex PTSD from the coverage.

Still, they stayed together.

Komuro moved to New York, studied law, and built a career while they spent years apart waiting for the storm to pass.

On October 26, 2021, they quietly married.

No royal ceremony.
No celebration.

Mako also gave up her royal title — because under Japanese law, female royals must leave the imperial family if they marry a commoner.

She even refused the $1.3 million payment traditionally given to princesses who step away from royal life.

Today, the couple lives in New York City, where Komuro works as a lawyer and Mako volunteers at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In 2025, they welcomed their first child.

She once explained her decision with a simple sentence:

“Kei is irreplaceable for me.”

A princess gave up a palace for the boy she met in a coffee shop — and chose a life built on love instead of a crown.

Experts warn U.S. gasoline prices could climb sharply in the coming weeks as crude oil surges amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Global benchmarks like Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) have jumped above $100 per barrel, the highest level in more than three years, following military strikes involving the **** and **** against ****. Analysts say disruptions and fears around key shipping routes—especially the ****, which carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply—are driving the spike.
Some forecasts suggest the U.S. national average for gasoline could rise above $5 per gallon if tensions continue.
Energy analysts like **** say the probability of further increases is high if supply concerns persist.
Meanwhile, **** defended the rising prices in a social media post, calling them a “very small price to pay” for security and stability.
Officials including **** have attempted to calm markets, saying the price surge could last “weeks, not months.”
Data from **** already shows gasoline averages climbing rapidly, with recent weekly increases of more than 10%, largely driven by higher crude costs and refining margins.
Economists warn that if supply disruptions continue, higher fuel costs could ripple through the broader economy, increasing inflation and placing added pressure on household budgets.

Spanish lawmaker Manuela Bergerot sharply condemned the use of women’s rights to justify the war in Iran, saying in a public speech, “You cannot defend women’s rights by celebrating the death of 160 girls.”

Her remarks came amid international outrage after an airstrike on a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, killed around 160 children — one of the deadliest civilian attacks since the conflict began.

Bergerot’s comment was part of a broader debate during International Women’s Day protests in Spain and across Europe, where many demonstrators linked peace, women’s rights, and opposition to military action in the Middle East.

Her stance drew strong reactions inside Spain and online, with supporters applauding the emphasis on human life and critics arguing that concern for women’s rights should not preclude support for opposition to Iran’s government.
