Japanese princess to loose her royal status as she chooses to marry a commoner

Princess Mako,25, who is said to be the eldest granddaughter of Emperor Akihito will become engaged to law firm worker Kei Komuro, also 25, whom
she met while studying together. Japan's imperial law requires a princess to leave the royal family after marrying a commoner. The move is expected to reignite debate on royal succession, with the emperor also possibly abdicating soon.
