A runaway princess Mako works as a volunteer
Princess Mako works as a volunteer in a museum and lives in a one-room apartment with her husband because she gave up everything.
Princess Mako (30) gave up a comfortable life because of her love for the commoner Kei Komuro (30), and that caused a lot of resentment in her native Japan. Her life is far from the royal court. That is confirmed by her recent photos showing the princess relaxing and also she can be seen on the streets of New York, where she moved with her chosen one.
Mako and her husband Kei Komuro flew to a new life on November 14, more precisely, a one-bedroom apartment in the Big Apple where he got a job in a law firm.
The princess quickly adjusted to American life, and many commented that she looks better than ever and in line with her age.
According to foreign media, Mako allegedly found a job, but if you thought it was due to the contribution to the household budget, you would be mistaken. According to the Japan Times, Mako works as an unpaid volunteer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. She works at the museum in a section dedicated to Asian art and she is currently helping to set up an exhibition of paintings inspired by the lives of 13th-century monks who introduced Buddhism in Japan.
‘She’s qualified and probably deals with items in the collection. It is a job that requires a lot of preparation and often it means a lot of time in the library ', commented the former curator of this museum.
By the way, Mako studied art and cultural heritage at the International Christian University in Japan, where she met her current husband. She then worked as a special researcher at the University of Tokyo Museum. She also studied art history at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and earned a master’s degree in museum and gallery studies from the University of Leicester in England in 2016. The princess and lawyer Komuro met during their studies in 2012, and the public learned that they were engaged in 2017. Then they waited for three years for the permission and blessing of her family.
Mako and Komuro said a fateful "yes" on October 26 last year, three days after her 30th birthday, and before the wedding, hundreds of protesters, who were against their marriage, gathered in Tokyo.
