Japan's Princess Mako and her commoner fiance Kei Komuro announced Friday they will be married on October 26, public broadcaster NHK reported -- a controversial union that requires her to give up her royal status.
The couple -- who met in college -- announced their engagement in 2017. But the following year they postponed the wedding, saying they were not yet ready for marriage.
