Apparently he announced he was going to study Law in NY a few months after getting engaged and they haven’t seen each other in three years. [/quote]

Three years is incredible. That their love was that strong. She fought for him and that marriage while surrounded night-and-day by courtiers who would have done anything to stop it. [/quote]

I hope so, but he did skedaddle out of there leaving her all alone to shoulder the nasty press. [/quote]

He went to get a law degree in NY, become barred (results of his bar exam live in December 2021), and get a job at a top NYC law firm. To provide for her and his mother who couldn't work anymore under the scrutiny.

Long-term he'll make 3x the income as a partner in a New York firm as he would had he stayed in Japan and eventually they might return to Tokyo has his ability to practice in two countries is pretty valuable stuff on the job market.[/quote]

Good for him but why not take her with him? They were engaged and the press was really nasty I am told.[/quote]

Because the press would be even nastier if she had to support him during law school, and it was probably not financial tenable anyway. I also think that while she was still a princess there could be a lot of interference from both the Chrysanthemum throne/courtiers and the press. Now, it is a clean break.[/quote]
