How did this happen in Russia? Isn't the government over there pretty anti-royal by nature?

On top of making her wait 4 years past-engagement (and she's known the young man since 2011), and stripping her of the $1.3 million dowry, the household also is refusing a crucial and highly symbolic wedding ceremony - her last official farewell to the Emperor and Empress of Japan.

Considering she is moving abroad to the United States right after her wedding, its especially cruel.

Jesus. That sounds like the worst life, being part of the Japanese royal family. Just completely controlled by the Imperial agency with no say in anything. Worse than the BRF. Run away Mako!

Wasn't it widely believed that the Imperial Agency's treatment of both Michiko and Masako drove both of them to depression, Masako so much that she was out of the public eye for 10 years?

Yes, it absolutely was. After Masako gave birth 'only' to a girl and kept trying to have more children but was struck by secondary infertility no matter what she did - she spiraled. Women can't inherit the throne in Japan, so a girl was worse than useless. The thing is - her husband stuck by her and tried to do things that made her happy - like talking with the public in less formal settings or going abroad on tours (she was a diplomat fluent in 6 languages before she married in) but the Imperial Agency refused all of his requests. They ordered her sequestered until she gave birth or else...and well - she never did.

Masako is/was so smart and brilliant and they broke her. A Harvard/Oxford graduate, linguist, diplomat, and one of only two women *out of 800 applicants* to pass the Japanese foreign exam in her class.

Masako’s sister-in-law had to step up and bear a male child when she couldn’t.

The Emperor’s brother was aware of the maneuvers to get his only niece crowned future Empress. Oh well. In other news, the IHA is doubling down on assholery.

The couple will register their marriage on Oct. 26 and will have a news conference together, the Imperial Household Agency said. They are expected to start a new life together in New York later this year.

There will be no wedding banquet and other rituals for the couple “because their marriage is not celebrated by many people,” the agency said.

Damn! That quote is cold!

That’s one of the saddest things I have ever heard. I will think of them on 10/26 because they deserve celebration. All they have gone through!

I thought the British were cruel. Turns out they have nothing on the Japanese. At least the former gave their royal a wedding with all the stops pulled out. These people stripped their princess of her million-dollar payout, her goodbye ceremony, and even her reception banquet.

So brutal.

She looks great. Gorgeous!

She looks old. I don't know if it's the hair or the makeup or the grandma hostess gown, but the fact that she is only 40 proves boggles the mind.

What makes her look old? In fact, I think her skin looks pretty great considering her weight and her fairness. She looks amazing.

New information on Mako's wedding this month - word on the street her father is disowning her. He will not attend the engaged couple's 'well wishes' ceremony and the IHA has banned her husband from saying private goodbyes/blessing on the new marriage with her uncle/aunt the current Emperor and Empress as well as her grandparents - the former Emperor/Empress. Mako will go alone.

I think it’s mostly the hairstyle, and maybe these particular pictures. She looks absolutely amazing in other pictures from this event.
(Maybe in the Cambridge forum?)

The way he looks at her is chilling.

Bridesmaids

I am digging the elegant modesty, a lot of special detail but still minimal.
