is different from the "Cinderella" who flies on the branches and turns into a phoenix. They are princesses who are loved by thousands of people at birth, real gold branches and jade leaves. But he is willing to give up everything and become a commoner, just to pursue what he loves in his heart.
Chapter 0: In the past two days, the media has been flooded with the two royal families!
Today, the British royal family Tsington Palace officially announced through a social networking website that Princess Kate and Prince William will soon have their "third child"! The Queen of England and the families of both sides were very happy about this.
As one of the examples of "Cinderella marrying the prince", Princess Kate can be regarded as a winner in life: fashion benchmark, family harmony, happy marriage, and has received attention and blessings from thousands of people, and every move has attracted much attention.
Compared to Kate's "marrying into the royal family", another royal family news that also made the screen was the Japanese princess who chose to go out of the deep palace and marry a civilian.
The favorite Japanese princess of the otaku marry a commoner
On September 3, the 25-year-old Japanese emperor eldest granddaughter Mako princess announced his official engagement at a press conference and will hold a wedding next fall.
Princess Mako was born with a golden key and has a textbook-like life experience. At the age of 18, he entered the International Christian University (ICU) to study arts and culture and culture courses, and then went to major well-known universities in the UK to study. Now 25 years old, she is studying for her PhD while working as a researcher at the University of Tokyo Museum.
Although not a talented genius, he is very hardworking and ambitious. With a handsome appearance, Princess Mako has always been highly popular in Japan. She is also known as the Japanese princess who is the favorite of otaku and is deeply supported by the Japanese people.

Because of her good English, she often appears in various diplomatic occasions, representing Japanese royal to meet VIPs, and her every move is very dignified and generous.
As the princess grows up day by day, the melon-eating crowd also begins to worry: what kind of man can match the princess with prominent backgrounds, outstanding appearance, and hardworking?
htmlNever expected that Kei Komuro, the "son-in-law" who was engaged to the princess in the end, was just a civilian.
Princess Makoto's "son-in-law" family background is ordinary, and it can even be said to be a "hard child". Kei Komuro, who grew up in a single-parent family, was raised by her mother and currently works in a law firm. But perhaps it is precisely because of this growth environment that Komuro is understanding, hard-working and upright, which has won praise from many people.
Kei Komuro and Princess Mako met at Tokyo International Christian University (ICU). After three years of dating, Komuro proposed to Mako in Tokyo in December 2013, and Mako agreed on the spot.
I long to build a warm and laughing family
In fact, it is not surprising that Princess Mako would choose to marry a commoner, because her growth process reflects a commoner's thinking that is different from the tradition.
, who seems gentle and elegant, is actually quite independent. When choosing a university, she broke the convention that members of the royal family only went to a university and chose an international Christian university with a "foreign style". When studying and traveling abroad, Princess Mako ignored her royal identity and took the economic warehouse like ordinary people. During the major earthquake in Japan, Mako, who was in her sophomore year, also concealed her identity and went to the disaster area to help the children there.
is such a innocent and kind royal princess. Mako meets Kei Komuro, who is equally kind.
"When I see the beautiful moon at night, I will call the princess." A small man who does not care about the difference in status and status, is neither humble nor arrogant, and is serious and brave to express his love deeply attracted Mako. In her eyes, Komo is a person who can handle everything calmly, broad-mindedly, and can be meticulous, gentle and considerate to her. Under the deep cage of the royal court, Mako felt the warmth.
She longs to build a warm, comfortable and full of laughter with the room. For this sincere love, she is willing to "marry" the common people.
Don’t want the country to love Princess
Just when this beautiful love was talked about by everyone, they didn’t know that Princess Mako’s decision to “marry” forced her to no longer have the identity of the Japanese royal family.

is different from the royal families in many countries. According to the provisions of the "Model of the Royal Family", Princess Mako will lose her royal status after marriage with an ordinary citizen and will automatically be demoted to a civilian. She will move out of the palace where she lived since childhood and move out of her parents, and will not attend any event on behalf of the royal family. In other words, Mako is no longer a Japanese princess and will lose all royal courtesy.

Of course, this marriage will not be a waste of time. In order to ensure the quality of life of the princess, Mako will also receive a "doll", which is said to be 137.25 million yen (about 8.16 million yuan). However, even if there is a "doll", the financial situation of Mako and his wife will not be very optimistic after buying a house.
Moreover, the small room where a single-parent family grows up is very filial and is very likely to live with your mother after marriage, so Mako will also face the problem of getting along with her mother-in-law. Although she will have nothing and face many difficulties, Princess Mako still has no hesitation.
I think Princess Mako’s decision is shocking and difficult to understand? In fact, "Princess marrying a civilian" has long been common in royal families in various countries. What kind of life do they live after marriage?
What is the experience of marrying a commoner?
Japanese Princess Kiyoko
As early as 2005, Princess Mako's aunt, Princess Kiyoko, also chose to "marry" an ordinary civil servant, Kuroda Keiki. After giving up the title of princess, Princess Kiyoko changed her name to Kiyoko Kuroda and no longer had royal treatment. After marriage, she not only has to pay taxes and pay taxes like an ordinary citizen, but also earn money to support her family, but she no longer has special royal guards and private drivers.
After marriage, Kiyoko lived in a rental rental house of only 50 square meters. Like ordinary people, I travel by bus and go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities. She had never entered the kitchen and had to learn how to cook.

Norwegian Princess Marta
On May 24, 2002, Norwegian Princess Marta married a controversial novelist Ali Bain . After marriage, she also lost the title of Norwegian royal family and all privileges.
In this wedding that everyone is not optimistic about, Marta insisted on her choice, and even announced loudly at the wedding with tears in her eyes: "This man shines on my life. I believe that he is the one who wants to spend the rest of his life with me."
and Princess Kiyoko's way of being a "people's woman", Marta, who lost the title of princess and royal allowance, pays taxes according to law and supports herself like an ordinary person. She was good at management and established the "Marta Louise Cultural Agency". When the company was established, she signed two major businesses with Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and Norwegian National Theater. She published two books and participated in media work, and her career was booming.
Princess Prena of Nepal
In early 2003, Princess Prena of Nepal married a civilian. The "son-in-law" Nepalese Raj Bahadur Singh is a graduate student who graduated from the University of California, USA with a wealthy family.
Because the groom is very good, Singh was awarded the title of "Kuma" (equivalent to prince) as early as when the two parties were engaged, and accepted him as a member of the royal family.

After marriage, the two lived in the mansion of "The Prince-in-law" Singer. Singer continued to work in computer-related work, while Princess Prena was engaged in new work as a professional woman, with a rich life and no worries about food and clothing.
The life that cannot be chosen is the real "marriage"
Maybe some people think that princesses are marrying down after the palace wall. When you marry into the palace, you will climb to a high branch. However, Princess Mako's aunt, the current wife of the Japanese prince, and the Crown Princess Masako , told another story with her own painful experience.
Prince Masako was a very talented modern woman before getting married. Not only was he born in a scholarly family, he was also beautiful. Graduated from Harvard, and studied in Oxford, proficient in six languages including English, German, and Russian. She is the first female diplomat in the history of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to have national civil service qualifications.
After becoming a diplomat, Masako helped the then prime minister participate in many discussions on international affairs with her extraordinary mind and first-class foreign language skills. However, it is such a perfect woman whose life becomes completely different after meeting the crown prince.
Crown Prince met Masako at a Spanish cocktail party. He fell in love with her at first sight and would not marry her. Masako, who refused repeatedly at the beginning, finally compromised after being sent to Iraq to die with her boyfriend under pressure from her family. In 1993, Masako quit all her jobs and married the crown prince. Everyone thinks they are a good match, with a talented man and a beautiful woman. Who knows, this is just the beginning of Masako's nightmare.
After marriage, Masako is no longer talked about how many languages she knows and is so talented. All the focus is on her belly: whether she can give birth to a heir to the throne is her only job.
Under tremendous pressure, Masako gave birth to her only child only after she got married 8 years ago— Princess Beloved . In Japan, princesses have no inheritance rights, and being born is the same as not being born.

The pressure of childbirth coupled with the royal life of mines everywhere has caused Masako to suffer from severe depression, which makes it difficult for daily visits to the people. If I had not married into the royal family, maybe Japan would have had a political legend instead of a resentful woman in the palace.
So what is high climbing? What is marriage next time? If you cannot choose your own life, maybe the real "marriage" is the real "marriage".
