The Princess of Japan (日本の王女) – Level 3

Let’s read aloud first. 最初に声を出して読んでみましょう。

Japanese Princess Mako married Kei Komuro in October 2021. She was 29 years old and was the niece of Emperor Naruhito. She met Komuro in college and got engaged in 2017. It is said that a girl born in royal family in Japan becomes an ordinary person after her marriage and will no longer be part of royal family. Now they are staying in New York together. They are trying to stabilize the new life. After graduating with a law degree from Fordham University, Komuro passed the test of US lawyer that allowed him to practice law in New York. Mako is now volunteering at Metropolitan Museum. Mako graduated from International Christian University with a degree in art and cultural heritage.
