Mako Komuro, erstwhile Japanese princess and niece to Emperor Naruhito, has delivered her primogeniture, a fact confirmed by the Imperial Household Agency, albeit with a deliberate obfuscation of the neonate's precise date of birth and sex, predicated on her forfeiture of royal prerogatives upon marrying Kei Komuro, a commoner, in 2021, a union that necessitated her relinquishment of imperial status under the strictures of Japan's Imperial House Law; the couple, now domiciled in New York City where Komuro practices law, have occasioned a confirmation from the palace following press disclosures, despite Mako's severance from the Chrysanthemum Throne, while her consanguineous relatives have effusively conveyed their felicitations; it is noteworthy that Mako and her spouse initially encountered one another at Tokyo’s International Christian University, though their nuptials were subjected to a quadrennial deferral owing to a pecuniary imbroglio involving Komuro’s maternal figure, and further, that Mako resolutely declined the customary bride-price concomitant with her secession from the Imperial Family.
