Mako Princess recently announced the postponement of the wedding date to 2020. Some Japanese media said that the reason for the postponement may be related to the scandal of Kei Komuro's mother being exposed by a Japanese magazine. Some Japanese media even used the word "assistance communication" to describe the scandal of Kei Komuro's mother. The report also stated that after the scandal was exposed, Keimoto Komuro wanted to explain to Princess Mako's father, Funin, prince 2, but was rejected. Princess Mako's marriage may be cancelled at any time due to the scandal.
Komuru Kayo
In December 2017, Japan's "Weekly Women" magazine published a report about Komuro Kei's mother, which claimed that Komuro Kei's mother, Komuro Kayo, committed suicide in Komuro Kei's father in 2002, and the magazine disclosed that Komuro Kayo had been engaged to others and collected 4 million yen, and used the money to support Komuro Kei's university. However, in the end, Kamiyo Komuro did not get married. The man who gave the money to Kamiyo Komuro at the beginning asked Kamiyo Komuro to return 4 million yen, but Kamiyo Komuro claimed that the money was given to her by the man and did not return it. Regarding whether this matter has anything to do with Princess Mako's postponement of marriage, Inner Palace said on February 6 that the postponement of the marriage has nothing to do with the report of "Weekly Women" magazine, and said, "That matter is the housework of the Komuro Kei family."
After the scandal, a chain reaction occurred, and many Japanese media rushed to follow up on the investigation and report. Reports also pointed out that Queen Michiko is already aware of the scandal and said she is very worried about the matter. According to sources in the Imperial Palace, Komuro Kei took the initiative to meet with Princess Mako's father, Prince Moonin, afterwards, hoping to explain the reason, but was rejected by Prince Moonin. After that, the Imperial Palace announced that the wedding was postponed to 2020.
Japanese media pointed out that although the Uchino Agency said on February 6 that the postponement of the marriage had nothing to do with the report of the Weekly Women's magazine, Prince Fumihito was unwilling to see Kei Komuro, indicating that Kei Komuro had lost Prince Fumihito's trust, so Princess Mako and Kei Komuro's marriage may have variables.
