The couple flew out of Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Sunday 14 November. The newlyweds intend to live in New York, where the ex-princess's husband works. Previously, Komuro studied in the United States and got a job as a lawyer in one of the American companies.

Under the Imperial Household Act of 1947, women of royal blood must renounce their imperial status if they marry commoners. Princess Mako also waived a government grant of 150 million yen (over $ 1.3 million).

The couple's departure comes amid a financial conflict between Komuro's mother and her ex-fiancé, to whom she owes four million yen ( about 2.5 million rubles). The dispute was settled on November 13: Komuro settled this dispute by promising to pay the required amount.

Mako and Kei Komuro have known each other since 2012, but critics have considered the young man an unsuitable party for the heiress of the imperial family. The wedding of young people has been postponed several times.
