2. Continuing with royalty, Princess Mako of Japan, who is giving up her royal status for love, is scheduled to announce her wedding plans on September 3rd. She first made headlines back in May for her engagement with a commoner, Kei Komuro. Although Komuro is a "commoner," he is a law clerk and once starred in a tourism campaign for the coastal city of Fujisawa as the "Prince of the Sea." The princess and Komuro first met while studying at the International Christian School in Tokyo and have been quietly dating for the past 5 years.
