After Princess Mako married a civilian, will there be a female emperor in the future?
The person riding a white horse may not be the prince, but the monk Tang. The princess may not live a happy life with the prince, but will leave the royal family and not even have a wedding.

html On the 126th, the niece of Emperor Naruhito, the 30-year-old Princess Akishinomiya, married her college classmate Kei Komuro. It has been more than four years since the two were engaged in September 2017.
This tortuous relationship between foreign media, which was hailed by foreign media as "a princess married a civilian, Japanese version of Harry and Meghan " finally came to an end with the "no wedding, no favoritism". The two did not accept the "temporary gold" paid by the royal family in the name of maintaining the dignity of the princess when she married (worth 150 million yen, which is about 8.4 million RMB).
This princess has officially left the imperial family and became a civilian. Anyone who seems to have to sigh, "Maybe this is true love." After all, this means that the couple needs to make their own living after this. The princess will start paying taxes, shopping, and doing her own housework, while their children no longer have the right to inherit the throne.
So what might this princess inherit? She may also have to inherit her mother-in-law and Kei Komuro's mother's emotional and debt disputes, and bear the psychological burden of being speculated by the public as "a princess who has lost her character after marriage."

This princess and civilian love begins at (Japan) International Christian University, where Princess Mako and Kei Komuro are in different classes in the same grade. In June 2012, Mako, who was planning to study in the UK, attended the exchange of international students held by the university. Kei Komuro happened to be sitting at Mako's front desk, and the two started chatting like this.
This future royal son-in-law Kei Komuro can speak fluent English and play violin . His signature smile is very popular.

We can now see that Komuro Kei's face is handsome and full of youthfulness, and Komuro Kei's handsome appearance has also been officially recognized. After all, he was selected as the "Prince of Sea" by the "Shonam Enoshima Sea Prince" in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture in 2010.
After that, Mako went to study at the University of Edinburgh, England. After returning home again, her relationship with Kei Komuro quickly became closer. In December 2013, Kei Komuro suddenly said to Mako, "We will get married in the future." Mako agreed on the spot.
Looking at such an excellent fiancée, Kei Komuro naturally worked hard. After working in a law firm for a short time, he was admitted to Ichihashi University in Japan, pursuing a master's degree in international business strategy, and then obtained a doctorate in law from Fordham University in the United States.
But the good times did not last long. Kei Komuro's mother was exposed to have financial problems. Kei Komuro's mother reportedly owed her ex-fiance a loan that she had not paid off. Because of his unusual outfit, Kei Komuro has become an "outlier" in the eyes of the Japanese people who are not worthy of Princess Mako. There are also rumors that the royal prospective son-in-law is suspected of falsifying his internship resume.
At the same time as the news of the two marriage was released on October 1 this year, the news that Mako was diagnosed with "complex PTSD" was also released.
Imperial Doctor said that Princess Mako "has reached the level of complex PTSD." Experts also said that "Mako seems to have begun to think that she has no value, her relationship is shaken, and she evades relationships with others. If the marriage goes smoothly and she is no longer bullied by verbal bullying, the symptoms may improve."
But at the same time, rumors from the outside world that "princess earns royal subsidies in order to deceive the royal family into sympathy" and "pretend to be sick" are flying all over the sky, and protesters march with banners "opposing marriage".
So did His Highness, who seems to be rebellious, really do it wrong? What problems did her love expose to the Japanese royal family?
First of all, from a personal perspective, although this princess is just pursuing her own love, due to the limitation of her identity, her marriage is not a "personal matter" but a "public event". Marrying a rumored family despite public opposition will inevitably be rejected by the public. Princess Yu Mako personally may not be a bad thing. After all, she is not the first alien in the Japanese royal family. Mako's grandmother Michiko is the first civilian princess to marry into the Japanese royal family. She was criticized by the public for advocating Western life and Christianity. She suddenly fainted on her 59th birthday and was diagnosed with psychopathy. When she was over-intensified or violently fluctuated, she would lose the ability to recognize any sound and make music.
, and the second civilian to marry into the Japanese royal family after Queen Michiko, the current Empress Naruhito, Masako , although she was born in a diplomat family, she also suffered from adaptive disorder due to the pressure of the royal family in life. It seems that it is not a bad thing to fade out of the public eye.
So let’s look at the Japanese royal family. What will happen to the royal family after Princess Mako marrys a civilian? First of all, there is a crisis in the number of people in the royal family. Since the Japanese royal family only allows men to inherit the throne, there is only one male among the grandchildren of the emperor, namely Prince Yuhito, who is only 15 years old. If there is no son in the future, the position of the emperor will be unsuccessful.
Once a princess marry a commoner, she must leave her royal status and leave the royal family. In recent years, many Japanese princesses have also chosen to marry a commoner. The number of royal family members will become smaller and smaller, and the situation of the Japanese royal family in the future may not be optimistic.
Then there is the dispute over the expenditure and law amendment of the Japanese royal family. Can the female emperor appear? If the Japanese royal family had no next generation heirs, it sparked discussions on whether women should be allowed to inherit the throne and modify the law. The traditional Japanese concept is that royal heritage can only be realized through male blood. Japanese nationalists believe that if male bloodlines are interrupted, the Japanese nation will no longer exist and female bloodlines cannot be counted.
The story of "The unruly princess married to civilians" may come to an end here, but the dilemma of the Japanese royal family has gradually emerged under the iceberg. How will the Japanese royal family solve the problem in the future? Maybe only time can give us the answer.
